Annual Fire Prevention Fair – Saturday at Station 3!

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 19, 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 apparatus on display, interactive lessons from the fire safety trailer, 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, Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!

• Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area (like a hallway),
and on each level (including the basement) of the home.

• Make sure smoke alarms meet the needs of all family members, including those with sensory
or physical disabilities.

• Test smoke alarms at least once a month by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or stop responding when tested.
