The Lakeshore Fire Department invites residents to celebrate Fire Prevention Week (FPW) and attend Fire Station Open Houses at all five local stations throughout Lakeshore on Wednesday, October 9, 2024, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM!
These open houses will give attendees the chance to learn fire prevention, meet local firefighters, and check out firetrucks and equipment. This year, each station will have a unique demonstration including:
- Stations 1/2: Defibrillator demonstration
- Station 3: Live fire and fire extinguishing demonstration
- Station 4: Auto extrication tool demonstration
- Station 5: Tours of the new fire training centre
This year’s FPW campaign, “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!™” strives to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home.
"Fire Prevention Week is a great opportunity for residents and local families to learn about the importance of fire safety and what they can do to keep their homes safe,” said Lakeshore Fire Chief Jason Suchui. “It’s also a great chance to engage with our talented and knowledgeable firefighters.”
“Community service is truly at the core of what our firefighters do, and Fire Prevention Week is a reminder of the important work they do,” said Mayor Tracey Bailey. “We look forward to opening the doors to our fire stations to welcome residents of all ages!”
During the week, firefighters will also visit all ten grade schools in Lakeshore to teach students about fire safety, the importance of smoke alarms, and what to do in an emergency.
Stay tuned to Lakeshore’s social media accounts throughout the week for links to fire prevention resources, activities, and more.
