On Sunday morning, June 24, we will be hosting an Open House and our annual pancake breakfast. This year's breakfast will be held at our Dakota Avenue fire station, 13105 Dakota Avenue. The hours are 7:30 - 11:30.
Our 2011 Open House was Tuesday October 4th at our O'Connell Road Fire Station.
The event was a lot of fun, we had fantastic weather and a great turnout, over 450 people attended.
There was a lot of interest in the fire extinguisher and residential sprinkler demonstrations and the fire trucks rides, as always, were a big hit!
