Safety First at Emergency Services Day

Don’t miss a kid’s paradise of fun at the Anderson Township Emergency Services Day! It’s a day where kids learn about safety and explore props and equipment at the Beechmont Fire Station.

This year’s event is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 5. Personnel from Anderson Township Fire and Rescue and the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office will be on hand to educate and answer questions.

The safety day features several new events, including a visit from the University Hospital Mobile Stroke Unit and Goldfish Swim School. Returning are a variety of safety services vehicles and the fire department mascot Lt. Big Ben.  

Other activities at the safety event include:

• Use a fire extinguisher simulator to see what it feels like to put out a fire
• Roll out in real fire gear for a photo shoot
• Climb on a water rescue boat, a fire engine, a ladder truck or check out the inside of an ambulance
• Knock down a simulated fire with a real fire hose in the windows of the Flame House
• Test for firefighter abilities with a firefighter agility course.
