Annual Fire Prevention Fair - Saturday, Oct 18th!

The Scarsdale Fire Department is teaming up with the National Fire Protection Association, the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 100 years, to host its annual Fire Prevention Fair. The event will be held at Fire Station 3, 56 Crossway, on Saturday, October 18, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, rain or shine!

Live fire demonstrations will illustrate the dangers of unattended cooking and improper fire extinguishment. There will be antique and modern fire trucks on display, interactive lessons from the fire safety trailer, bounce houses, refreshments, and a firefighter read-aloud to guarantee fun for the whole family. The American Red Cross will be in attendance for those who wish to learn about free smoke alarm installations, emergency preparedness, and hands-only CPR. Guests are also encouraged to bring their own fire extinguishers from home for a complimentary inspection and hands-on training!

The Fire Prevention Fair is a great opportunity to meet our career and volunteer firefighters, who are eager to share key messages from this year's campaign, Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home

Buy only listed products. Look for a stamp from a nationally recognized testing lab on the packaging and product, which means that it meets important safety standards.

Charge devices safely. Always use the cables that come with the product to charge it.

Follow the instructions from the manufacturer.

Recycle batteries responsibly. Don't throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins. Visit call2recycle.org to find a recycling spot near you.
