National Fire Prevention Week

By Airman 1st Class Joshua R. M. Dewberry 11th Wing Public Affairs

Team Andrews firemen took the time to educate team Andrews' children about fire safety during National Fire Prevention Week by appearing at the child development center here Oct. 10.  During the week the firemen hosted a variety of events to inform Team Andrews about fire prevention.

The final event is an open house that will take place at Fire Station 2 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 12. The event will include station tours, fire truck displays, a bounce house for the children, hamburgers, hot dogs and a special auto extrication demonstration. Fire Station 2 is located by the running track on East Perimeter Road.

Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire back in October of 1871. This year's fire safety theme is 'Prevent Kitchen Fires.'

For any questions or concerns please contact the Fire Prevention Office at 301-981-4986.
