Waltham Fire Department will be participating in National Fire Prevention Week next week, October 16th-22nd, and holding their annual OPEN HOUSE on Sunday, October 23rd!

During Fire Prevention week, WFD will be sending its S.A.F.E. (Student Awareness of Fire Education) teaching team into all Waltham public and private elementary schools to teach vital fire and life safety lessons to kids in grades K-3. Safety lessons focus on basic fire & safety tips that can be learned by everyone: React to smoke alarms, practice home escape plans, and know where your exits are no matter where you go. Our S.A.F.E. team instructors include: Lt. John Ferrick, F.F. Izzy Torres, F.F. Chuck Vinciulla, and F.F. Melissa McCarthy. The S.A.F.E. team will visit a school each morning and afternoon.

Following the student education events, Waltham Fire Department will be holding their free annual OPEN HOUSE event on Sunday, October 23rd! The event will feature free pizza, beverages, snacks, and tours of the station and apparatus. See the event flyer here for more info & hope to see you there!
