Stovetop fire displays, CPR instruction and more
In support of National Fire Prevention Week, the Bellevue Fire Department will host its annual open house on Saturday, Oct. 12, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. All nine fire stations will serve free cookies and other refreshments, and firefighters will give tours and answer questions.
Residents are invited to try firefighting activities.
- Learn hands-only CPR: Participants get to practice on a mannequin. Learn how to save a life in a matter of minutes.
- Discharge a fire extinguisher: You’ve had that fire extinguisher. Learn how to use it.
- Try on firefighter bunker gear: Find out how it feels before firefighters go into a burning building.
- Draw a home escape plan for a chance to enter the “Ride to School in a Fire Engine” contest.
At stations 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9, there will be a stovetop fire display, where you can learn how to properly extinguish a kitchen fire involving real fuel and fire.
