Mark your calendars to visit the 2011 Fire Department Open House on Saturday, October 15 at the Central Fire Station, 211 Bluff City Highway. The event will take place between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Firefighters will demonstrate various items of safety and rescue equipment including Bristol Virginia's mobile smoke trailer and our "Patches and Pumper" fire safety robot. Fire personnel will also provide hands-on portable fire extinguisher training and will distribute important fire safety information.
The Wellmont One medical helicopter will also be on display and its flight crew will be available to discuss emergency medical flights - you won't want to miss that.
Come see the equipment and meet the folks that keep Bristol a safe place to live - and while you're at it, enjoy the refreshments including hot dogs, potato chips, popcorn, drinks, and dessert.
Saturday, fire trucks, a helicopter, our own public safety heroes, and free food - what could be better than that? peace
