The Lakeshore Fire Department invites residents to celebrate Fire Prevention Week and attend Fire Station Open Houses at all five local stations throughout Lakeshore on Wednesday, October 8th, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm.
These open houses will give attendees the chance to learn fire prevention, meet local firefighters, and check out fire trucks and equipment.
This year’s FPW campaign, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” works to educate everyone about how to properly use Lithium-Ion Batteries. The campaign stresses how important it is to BUY, CHARGE, and RECYCLE safely.
“This year’s Fire Prevention Week is especially important as it highlights the need for safe handling and disposal of Lithium-Ion batteries, which continues to be a growing cause of residential fires,” said Lakeshore Fire Chief Jason Suchiu. “We look forward to opening our fire station doors and welcoming visitors of all ages to learn from our many knowledgeable firefighters.”
Fire Prevention Week Open Houses will take place at:
- Station 1 - 1031 County Road 22, Emeryville
- Station 2 - 1465 Lakeshore Road 203, Maidstone
- Station 3 - Headquarters – 592 St. Charles Street, Belle River.
- Station 4 - 2095 County Road 31, Ruscom
- Station 5 - 6400 Main Street, Comber
