Looking for a fun and free way to spend your PA Day? The LaSalle Fire Service is inviting families and community members to stop by for a cool treat and an important conversation about summer fire safety.
On Friday, June 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the LaSalle Fire Service headquarters, located at 1900 Normandy St., will open its doors to the public for a special community engagement event: Freezie with a Firefighter.
Visitors of all ages are welcome to enjoy a freezie, tour the fire hall, explore a fire truck up close, and meet the firefighters who help keep the community safe year-round.
“Summer is a fun season, but it’s important to ensure you and your family are safe while taking in all that the warm months have to offer,” said Fire Chief Ed Thiessen. “Come on by, have a treat, and let’s talk fire safety.”
Firefighters will be on site to share tips and answer questions on a range of topics including:
Barbecue safety
Home fire escape planning
Water and pool safety
Smoke and carbon monoxide alarm maintenance
Outdoor fire pit regulations and safety tips
Children will also receive activity sheets and fire safety materials to take home, and families are encouraged to take photos during their visit.
“This event is a great opportunity to learn, ask questions, and become more familiar with our local emergency services,” Thiessen added. “Building relationships with our community helps make LaSalle safer for everyone.”
Whether you’re stopping by for a freezie or a fire truck selfie, the LaSalle Fire Service looks forward to welcoming you.
