The Hopkinton Fire Department will open their station to the public on October 4th for their Annual Open House. The event at Fire Headquarters will be from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Residents and children will have the opportunity to view demonstrations, learn about fire safety, and tour the station. Refreshments will be provided and Sparky the dog is expected to make an appearance.
The Open House provides an opportunity for firefighters to focus on the educational theme of Fire Prevention week. This year’s theme is “Hear the beep where you sleep: Every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm”. Because fires can happen when people are sleeping, having working smoke alarms in bedrooms, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home is a critical element of home fire safety.
