Johns Creek residents are invited to come out and take part in the Johns Creek Police and Fire department’s Community Safety Day.

The event will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 3 at the State Bridge Corners Shopping Center. Organizers will be stationed in the parking lots of The Home Depot and Target, which are located at 5950 State Bridge Road.

Community Safety Day is a precursor to Fire Prevention Week, which is designated for Oct. 4-10. Saturday’s event is designed to help heighten awareness about basic safety issues, the city said.

Firefighters and police officers perform a variety of rope rescue, motorcycle, K-9 and fire extinguisher demonstrations, SWAT exercises and women’s safety demonstrations to show some of the many skills they use regularly.

Attendees will have a chance to ask questions of Johns Creek firefighters and police officers and also learn about public safety vehicles and equipment.

Informational handouts and safety checklists are available, and the event features children’s activities and food and drinks.
