This year's fire safety theme is 'Prevent Kitchen Fires.' The firefighter's hosted events across the installation to reach members of Team Andrews including a visit to a child development center; where the children not only learned about fire safety, but also meet Sparky the Fire Safety Dog. The week wrapped up with an open house at Fire Station 2 which included station tours, fire truck displays, a bounce house for the children, hamburgers, hot dogs and a special auto extrication demonstration.
