On Saturday October 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vashon Island Fire & Rescue will open its doors to the public for their annual Open House at the end of Fire Prevention Week.
There will be a flu shot clinic from getaflushot.com, training demonstrations at the Penny Farcy Training Center across the street, "hands on" the fire hose, as well as displays by VashonBePrepared, CERT and the Red Cross.
The following items will be for sale: WHAT'S COOKIN' AT VIFR cookbook; bike, skating, equestrian and ski helmets; "blue" address signs and registration for upcoming CPR classes.
VIFR members will be cooking hot dogs for the public and light refreshments will be served. Children will look forward to a visit from Airlift Northwest (as emergencies permit) so we can get a close-up view of their helicopter. Sparky will also be on hand for picture-taking. Come by, visit us and then enjoy CiderFest while in Vashon.
