Radnor Fire Co. Hosting Fire Prevention Event Next Week

Radnor's firefighters are inviting you to come learn about fire safety and prevention next week.

The fire company is hosting a Fire Prevention Show and Open House at the fire station at 101 S. Wayne Ave., Wayne.

The public will get to see first hand how the brave firefighters handle dangerous fires and will take away fire safety and prevention lessons from the event.

Firefighters will also be giving fire truck rides as well as food and refreshments.

The event is begins at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 15, which is the last day of the National Fire Prevention Association's National Fire Prevention Week.

The National Fire Prevention Association is focusing this year's National Fire Prevention Week – which runs from Oct. 9 to Oct. 15 – on ensuring smoke alarms are up to date and working properly. The "Don't Wait Check The Date" campaign urges citizens to replace smoke alarms every 10 years.

This marks the third year in a row the NFPA has focused on smoke alarms because according to survey data the public has many misconceptions about smoke alarms, which may put them at increased risk in the event of a home fire, the association said.
