OCTOBER IS FIRE PREVENTION MONTH
Firefest Saturday, October 10, 2009

Have you done all you can around your home or apartment to make sure your family is protected from fire? Are your smoke detectors working? Do you have an escape plan? Of course, fire prevention is the best safety plan of all. Please visit www.houstonfire.org for fire and safety tips to help you prepare and protect your loved ones from a possible fatal fire.

FIREFEST 2009, Saturday, October 10, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. is a great opportunity to receive valuable fire and life safety information, meet your local firefighters, witness live fire and rescue demonstrations, see antique cars and fire trucks, shop, eat, hear music and experience the Kid's Zone. Please come to the Houston Fire Department's Val Jahnke Training Facility at 8030 Braniff just south of Hobby Airport. All proceeds go toward the education and outreach programs of the Houston Fire Museum. Admission is FREE as is the parking/shuttle service at the corner of Monroe and Meldrum.
