Schreiner Ace Hardware and Worthington Fire Department: Celebrating National Fire Prevention Week

Schreiner Ace Hardware will conduct safety displays and demonstrations at the Worthington Fire Department Open House on Sunday, Oct. 6, as a kickoff to National Fire Prevention Week. This year's theme is kitchen safety.



Visitors who attend an open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fire house can explore the Worthington Fire Department and experience daily life as a Worthington firefighter, including these activities:

Emergency Medical Services simulation with the Sim Man Training exercises, including a drill based on a real-life event where attendees can simulate rescuing a trapped firefighter during a fire.
Safety displays, demonstrations and handouts from Schreiner Ace Hardware and others.
The role of staying healthy and fit in the firefighting profession
Safety house
Kids' challenge course
Truck displays
Refreshments

Continuing the celebration through Oct. 12, Schreiner Ace Hardware will offer First Alert smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors on sale for $13.99 and will host a fire truck and crew from the Worthington Fire Department at their store on Oct. 12. On that day, they will conduct safety demonstrations and fire safety information sessions at their Worthington store.
