Fairfax, Va. — On Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., all of the fire and rescue stations in Fairfax County will open their doors to the general public to participate in a community open house, spotlighting fire prevention. The theme for 2015 is “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep.” Every firehouse will host activities, provide tours, and have available fire prevention educational materials. For more information, call your community fire station (http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fr/deptinfo/stations.htm).
For prospective volunteers, the Open House is also a great opportunity to talk with operational and administrative volunteers and learn about different opportunities to get involved.
