Fire Safety Week - October 7-13

We hope to see everyone there! We’ll have Games, Prizes, Safety Stations, the SAFE house, and more! A flyer for the Open House has been attached. We are visiting schools and teaching the children about “When you hear the smoke alarm, Get Out and Stay Out”! and “Don’t Hide, Go Outside” messages.
