Join the Spencerport Fire District for their annual Open House to learn about fire safety in a family fun environment. Stop by on Sunday, October 6, between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to get your picture taken on a fire truck, enjoy refreshments, and visit with Sparky the Fire Dog. This year, the Open House will be held at Station 3, 2588 South Union Street, Spencerport. This will give attendees the opportunity to walk through the training facility located behind Station 3 to see how SFD members use it to keep their skills sharp. Many local partners will join SFD for the Open House this year, including the Gates Chili Rollover Bus, Gates Ambulance, Ogden Police, and Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Mounted Patrol.
October 6 is also the first day of Fire Prevention Week. This year’s theme is “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!” The campaign works to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms reduce the risk of dying in a home fire by more than half (54 percent). Meanwhile, roughly three out of five fire deaths happen in homes with either no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.
