2009 Fire Prevention Week Open House

The Westfield Fire Department is kicking off Fire Prevention Week on Saturday October 3rd with an Open House.  The event opens to the public at 11:00 a.m. and continues until 2:00 p.m.  Westfield Fire encourages all residents within the Westfield District (and their children!) as well as others in the area to come visit the firehouse.  While there, visitors can chat with firefighters about fire prevention, try their hands on a charged hose line, check out the apparatus, try on gear, experience the disorientation of a smoke-filled room and see what it's like to be immobilized on a backboard!

For the rest of Fire Prevention Week the Westfield Fire Marshal's Office will be holding a series of events at local schools, day care facilities and businesses.  For information about anything related to Fire Prevention Week please call the firehouse (contact info to the right) or email FM Art Higgins and DFM Mike Giantonio in the Fire Marshal's office - fmo@westfieldfire.net or dfm@westfieldfire.net.  

Also, on the afternoon of October 10th, Westfield Fire will be in their "Class A's" as we join Middlefield Fire at a parade celebrating their 75th Anniversary.  Congratulations Middlefield Fire!
