Fire Prevention Open House In Southampton Thursday

UPPER SOUTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — The Southampton Fire Company will also host a Fire Prevention Open House on Thursday, October 8, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

The family-friendly event will feature fire truck tours, live fire and safety demonstrations, activities for children and opportunities to meet local firefighters.

The open house will be held during Fire Prevention Week, which runs from Oc. 4-10 and emphasizes the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) theme, “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower.”

The campaign encourages residents to practice safe charging habits when using lithium-ion battery-powered devices, which include everyday devices such as smartphones, laptops, power tools, and toys.

Residents should use the charger that came with their devices, charge devices on a hard, flat surface and unplug them once fully charged.

As a 100 percent volunteer fire company, Southampton Fire Company is always seeking dedicated individuals to join its team.

The community can learn more about volunteering at both events or visit www.JoinSouthamptonFire.org.
