Fire safety event slated for Saturday

Staff

The Fort Frances Fire and Rescue Service will be at Canadian Tire this Saturday (May 9) to promote its “Spring into Summer, Spring into Safety” campaign.
Fire safety specialist Wayne Riches said firefighters will be on hand from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. to offer information on fire safety as well as answer any questions, and that the public is encouraged to turn out.
Riches noted there will be displays, booths, trucks, lots of giveaways, and a raffle for a child’s bike.
In addition to capping off Emergency Preparedness Week, “Spring Into Summer” has become a regular event for the local fire department—a semi-annual companion to the fire safety promotion held each fall at Canadian Tire here.
