Firefighters in Petawawa will be at Rona (3025 Petawawa Boulevard) on Saturday, October 15th, from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for demonstrations and information sessions about installing smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their homes, planning and practicing a fire escape plan, and operating a fire extinguisher.
In Pembroke, local firefighters will join Pembroke Mayor Mike LeMay for a ceremonial puck drop for a Pembroke Lumber Kings game on Sunday.
Fire Prevention Week runs from October 9th to the 15th.
