Fire Prevention Festivities - One More Added!

Weee-ooo! Weee-ooo! Calling all firetruck and other emergency-vehicle loving kids! October is Fire Prevention Month and that means one thing...Fire Company Open Houses and Expos and...Trucks! Trucks! Trucks! 

The very important topic of Fire Prevention will be quite a lot of fun to learn about thanks to the efforts put forth by the, already hardworking and selfless firefighters in our area! 

Without further ado, let us present the list!

Center Square Fire Company in Blue Bell will be holding its annual expo this Friday night from 6p to 9p at Wentz Run Park. Demonstrations and handouts will be available for the kids. See the many pieces of fire and police equipment: Ladder trucks! Pumpers! Patrol Cars! Motorcycles! Helicopters, SWAT truck and more— all from more than 60 neighboring companies!

Hatfield Fire Department will be at Rocktoberfest this Saturday from 11:30am to 3:30pm.

Fairmount Fire Company in Lansdale will be open for tours during Founder's Day this Saturday from 11am to 4pm.

Upper Gwynedd Fire Department is holding a 5K Run/Walk and 1 mile Fun Run this Saturday. Fire trucks from all over the area will be in attendance with plenty of family-focused activities including a smoke house for children to go through to help them understand what to do in the event of an actual fire in their home. They will also have crews cutting up a car to show what they do in the event someone is trapped inside a vehicle after a crash. Visit North Penn Under Ten's Register Now page to sign up for the Run/Walk or the Calendar for further details.
