The Pasadena Fire Department will kick-off Fire Prevention Week on Saturday, October 5, 2013 at the Rose Bowl Stadium (Gate A) from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. Free hot dogs and drinks will be free to the first 250 attendees.

Fire personnel will meet and greet the public and educate the community about fire safety. Other highlights will include the Fire Department Kids Safety Trailer (simulates a kitchen to teach cooking safety), a ladder truck, fire engines, rescue ambulances and fire extinguisher demonstrations and the Urban Search And Rescue vehicle. There will also be educational giveaways free to the children.

Fire Prevention Week is October 6-12. This year’s theme is “Prevent Kitchen Fires” to spread the word that more fires start in the kitchen than in any other part of the home. Every year since 1925, the President of the United States has signed a Proclamation to observe Fire Prevention Week with varying themes.
