From the City of El Cerrito:

El Cerrito, CA: On Saturday September 17th at the El Cerrito Plaza, the El Cerrito Fire Department will host a spectacular Public Safety Event that will be informative and fun for the whole family. There will be appearances from Smokey the Bear, Sparky the Fire Dog, as well as McGruff the Crime Dog.

Representatives from various agencies will include: the Fire Departments from El Cerrito, Albany, Kensington, Richmond, East Bay Regional Parks, the Police Departments of Richmond, El Cerrito, Albany, and the U.C. Berkeley Bomb squad will perform an amazingly exciting demonstration as well. ECFD will demonstrate the “Jaws of Life” apparatus. County Environmental health will bring its Hazmat Truck, and the U.S. Secret Service will be on hand to make photo and fingerprint ID cards for kids. ECFD’s “Fire Safety House” will also be there so that kids can learn about fire safety and practice escape drills from a simulated structure fire.
