The Johns Creek Fire and Police departments next month will perform several demonstrations as part a planned Community Safety Day.

The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 3 at the State Bridge Corners Shopping Center (Home Depart & Target Parking lots, 5950 State Bridge Road, Johns Creek).

Community Safety Day, a free event and precursor to Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 4-10), helps heighten awareness about basic safety issues.

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 can ask questions of Johns Creek firefighters and police officers, and 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.

For more information, call 678-474-1641.
