The community is invited to celebrate Fire Prevention Week at a free event with Richmond Hill Fire and Emergency staff along with Sparky the Fire Dog!
Fire Prevention Week (October 6-12) is an opportunity for the community to learn how to stay safe in case of a fire.
This year’s theme focuses on the importance of smoke alarms and making them WORK for you. Smoke alarms serve as the first line of defense in a home fire, but they need to be working in order to protect people. This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign helps better educate the public about simple but critical steps they can take to make sure their homes have smoke alarms in all the needed locations and that they’re working properly.
At the Open House, attendees will learn how to ensure that smoke alarms work for them.
This free event offers child-friendly games and activities, live demonstrations (including auto rescue demonstrations and a fire truck simulator), and more!
