October is Fire Safety Month, and to mark the occasion the Oak Park Fire Department is hosting an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 14 at the main fire station located at 100 N. Euclid Ave.
The event returns this year to allow residents of all ages to get up close to equipment and talk to the firefighter/paramedics who keep the community safe.
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 during the open house.
