Fire Department Open House Set for Today
The fun and educational event for youth takes place on Oct. 11.
The annual Ocean City Fire Department Open House will be held 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, at Fire Department headquarters, 550 Asbury Ave.
The evening includes informative and fun activities for children. There will be valuable life-saving exercises. A miniature house will be set up to teach children how to crawl low through a smoke-filled building. They will also be instructed on how to “stop, drop and roll” in case their clothing catches fire.
Youngsters will also have the opportunity to use a fire hose and tour the fire trucks. Bring a camera and take photos of your children posing by the engines. There will be face-painting, a coloring contest and a Jaws of Life demonstration. City Police will also participate in the program.
