🔥MARK YOUR CALENDARS🔥
Fire safety starts here! Join us at our annual Open House for hands-on safety education mixed with family fun. Take a picture on a fire truck, enjoy refreshments, and meet Sparky the Fire Dog!
We’re also fortunate to have many local partners joining us this year:
-Spencerport Ladies Auxiliary serving cider and donuts
-Gates FD Safety Trailer
-Operation Freedom Ride Animal Rescue
-Spencerport Explorer Post with Sparky the Fire Dog
-Roll Over Simulator
-Gates Volunteer Ambulance
Our firefighters will also demonstrate a vehicle extrication drill at 12:30, showing how we use rescue tools, often called the “Jaws of Life,” to safely remove doors and other pieces of a vehicle in order to free trapped passengers.
October 5th marks the start of Fire Prevention Week. This year’s theme, “Charge Into Fire Safety: Lithium-ion Batteries in Your Home,” focuses on how to safely buy, use, and recycle lithium-ion batteries.
These batteries are found in many devices we use every day including smartphones, smartwatches, tablets, headphones, and power tools. It’s important to know the risks they can pose if they are overcharged, damaged, or improperly stored.
Visit nfpa.org for more fire safety information on lithium-ion batteries from the National Fire Protection Agency.
