Fire Prevention Week was October 8 to 14 and the Hawkesbury Fire Department was one of many local fire services using the week to promote fire prevention, safety, and to demonstrate what firefighters do.

On Saturday, October 14, an open house was held for the public at the Hawkesbury Fire Station on Spence Avenue. Activities and information were available for all ages.
