(KNSI) – National Fire Prevention Week gets off to an early start locally with the Foley Fire and Rescue Annual Open House this Saturday.
The event takes place from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the fire hall, located at 81 Norman Avenue South. Warm weather is expected to linger for the rest of the week, with high temps on Saturday likely in the upper 70s. That will provide perfect conditions for kids to man a real-life fire hose as they try to douse simulated flames inside a multi-story home.
Visitors can meet with members of the Foley Fire Department and learn more about recruiting efforts. Trained professionals will host a kitchen fire demo at 11:30 and 12:30 with a raffle sandwiched in between at noon.
Grand Champion Meats is providing hot dogs for everyone in attendance. A local farm will be handing out pumpkins to use either as porch decorations or for Halloween carving.
The Foley Fire Department handles calls for the city and surrounding townships.
