Fire Department to host open house
The Ontario Fire Department will host its annual open house event on Saturday to promote Fire Prevention Week.
"It's Fire Prevention Week. Protect your Family from Fire," this year's campaign, focuses on preventing the leading causes of home fires -- cooking, heating and electrical equipment, as well as candles and smoking materials.
Fire prevention week is Oct. 9-15.
At the open house on Saturday, residents will get to see live demonstrations such as a structure fire, vehicle fire, vehicle extrication, emergency medical situation, etc.
Residents will also have an opportunity to learn fire safety tips and visit all the safety-related booths.
Youths will also get the opportunity to squirt a real firehose, take pictures with Sparky and Freddy the Fire Truck.
The open house will be Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Fire Station 3, 1408 E. Francis St., Ontario.
For more information or demonstration times, call the Ontario Fire Department Prevention Bureau at 909-395-2029.
