AMHERST — Rounding out Fire Prevention Week, the Amherst Fire Department raised the bay doors at the Central Fire Station on Saturday, Oct. 14 for their annual open house event.
Firefighters, volunteers and town staff members treated the community to demonstrations of emergency equipment, the opportunity to get up close and personal with actual fire gear and vehicles and to learn fire safety from firefighters and special guests Smokey Bear and Sparky the Fire Dog.
The National Fire Protection Association has sponsored the public observance FPW since 1922.
