This Fire Prevention Festival will take place on October 14, 2023, from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm at Sierra Madre Fire Station (242 West Sierra Madre Blvd., Sierra Madre). It promises to be an engaging experience for the whole community.

The Fire Prevention Festival is a family-friendly event aimed at raising awareness about fire safety and prevention.

This year’s festival will feature an array of exciting activities and informative demonstrations, including:

1. Live Fire Safety Demonstrations: Firefighters and Faith Fire Protection Services will provide demonstrations for using a fire blanket and fire extinguisher to put out stove fires.

3. Meet Smokey Bear: Angeles National Forest and Smokey Bear will educate visitors on the importance of safe camp cooking.
4. Fire Truck Tours: Explore SMFD’s state-of-the-art fire engines, water tender, and equipment up close.
