Just in from Shoreline Fire:

Wondering what to do this Saturday? How about hanging out at the Shoreline Fire Training Center and Headquarters (175th and Aurora), and watching firefighters show off their skills? The annual Fire Prevention Month Open House gets underway at 10:00 am and runs until 1:00 pm.

Come see extrication crews demonstration the jaws of life and how lives are saved in auto crashes. Take a look at a fire engine from the driver’s seat. See what it feels like to flow water from the big fire hoses. See the Fire Safety House – and how smoke behaves it a typical house fire.

Interested in science and medicine? Paramedics will show you how resuscitations are done – and you can check up on your own CPR skills.

It’s a chance for you to be up close and personal with your firefighters and the staff of Shoreline Fire. Join us… bring a friend… and don’t forget your camera!
