Thorold, ON – Thorold Fire and Emergency Services invites you to a special fire safety open house this Saturday, October 14 at Fire Station 4 in recognition of Fire Prevention Week.
From October 8 to 14, Thorold Fire and Emergency Services is once again collaborating with the National Fire Protection Association to promote Fire Prevention Week. This year’s theme is “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention.” The campaign aims to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take when cooking to keep themselves and those around them safe.
“Thorold Fire and Emergency Services is encouraging all residents to educate themselves and to learn more about fire safety when cooking in their homes,” says Traviss Ketler, fire prevention officer. “Remember, cooking safety starts with YOU. We invite residents of all ages to join us this Saturday at Fire Station 4 to enhance their knowledge of cooking safety in the home, and to view and participate in a variety of educational demonstrations and activities.”
Residents are welcome to stop by the open house on October 14 between 1:00 and 4:00 p.m. In addition to a cooking safety demonstration, attendees will have the opportunity to watch a live fire demonstration, sprinkler demonstration and 100’ ladder truck demonstration. There will also be activities, games and refreshments for the entire family.
