Johns Creek Police, Fire To Host Community Safety Day

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- The Johns Creek Fire and Police departments will showcase the skills they use to protect the city as part of Community Safety Day.

The event will kick off at 9 a.m. and wrap up at noon Saturday, Oct. 1 at the State Bridge Corners Shopping Center, which is located at 5950 State Bridge Road.

The demonstrations will take place in the Home Depot and Target parking lots.

A free event and precursor to Fire Prevention Week, Community Safety Day helps heighten awareness about basic safety issues. Firefighters and police officers perform a variety of rope rescue, motorcycle, K-9 and fire extinguisher demonstrations, and SWAT exercises 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 will also be available and the event will include children’s activities and food and drinks.

Please do not bring your pets due to K9 officers being present.
