The Family Fire Muster - It's the Best Photo Opportunity in Town!
Join West Metro Fire Rescue on June 14 for the Family Fire Muster and give your kids the chance to dress up like firefighters, spray water from a fire hose, climb around on fire trucks, police cars and ambulances and have the time of their lives!
The annual Family Fire Muster is an outdoor learning extravaganza giving families the chance to LEARN, PRACTICE and PLAY while engaging in life-saving and injury-preventing lessons! Dozens of interactive activities give kids of all ages and their parents a chance to learn to be safe while spending quality time together! And...it's all FREE!
Imagine your child "bunked out" in fire fighter gear while they run to Stop, Drop, and Roll. The pictures are adorable, the kids have a great time, and they learn there's no need to be afraid of fire fighters in their gear. Through the activity, they'll practice how to put out a fire if one gets on their clothes.
How about spraying water from a REAL fire hose! Kids get to run through the trees with a charged fire hose while learning how fire fighters put out wildland grass and forest fires! Keep the camera handy and be prepared - you're likely to get wet!
Seeing a fire truck race down the street with its lights and sirens is a thrill for most kids - how about giving them the chance to climb aboard and experience the trucks from the inside! Have your kids ever seen a search and rescue dog find a lost victim? They'll get to meet many of the search and rescue dogs who helped rescuers during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, tornadoes, earthquakes and the World Trade Center.
So grab your cameras, extra memory cards and batteries, and make it a date on June 14 to attend West Metro Fire Rescue's Family Fire Muster! The event runs 9:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., at Red Rocks Community College (13300 West 6th Ave.) in Lakewood. Invite your friends and your family, but for the safety of our participants, pets are not allowed!
