REDMOND, WA - Redmond Fire Department and King County Fire District 34 are partnering together to host several open houses at local fire stations throughout Fire Prevention Week. Fire Prevention Week is a national campaign whose theme is "Don’t Wait—Check the Date"— a reminder to replace smoke alarms every ten years.

Open houses will offer fun, educational and family-oriented activities, allowing residents to learn about the importance of having a working smoke alarm in all sleeping areas by the major living spaces of their home. The open houses also give families and businesses the chance to meet their local firefighters and tour the station that serves their homes and properties. Children of all ages are invited to hang out with firefighters, meet Sparky the Fire Dog and explore a fire engine and aid car. Light refreshments will be served.
