Fire Department hosting Open House

Oak Parkers of all ages with an interest in modern firefighting and emergency medical services should mark their calendars for Saturday, Oct. 12.

That’s when the Oak Park Fire Department will open its doors to the public for its annual open house.

The event, held in conjunction with Fire Safety Month, is set for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Central Fire Station, 100 N. Euclid Ave.

In addition to touching the cool equipment essential to the mission of a modern fire department, the event also will include tours of the fire house, presentations about safety and fun handouts.

To help supply local community blood centers, a Vitalant blood drive will be held onsite from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Click here to register for the blood drive.
