The Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District is kicking off Fire Prevention Week with a fun, family-friendly event on Saturday, Oct. 5! Join us on the bus loop in front of Veterans Park Academy (49 Homestead Rd. S) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. to visit with firefighters, county workers, and other community helpers, who will have their vehicles on display for children (and adults!) to explore.

Watch firefighters demonstrate how they use extrication tools to remove patients from a crashed vehicle at 11:30 a.m.!
