Fire and Police celebration set for Saturday
About 4,000 people are expected to gather outside Police and Fire
Headquarters on Saturday to have a good time and hopefully learn a
little about safety as well.
This year’s Fire Service Day and National Police Week celebration
will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. More than a dozen new and
vintage police and fire vehicles will be on display along with the
police helicopter. Paramedics, hazardous-materials crews and urban
search-and- rescue teams are among the groups expected to perform
demonstrations. Safety-related agencies and civic groups will also be
manning informational booths. A disc jockey will play music and
visitors will have a chance to get photos taken with Walt Disney
characters, organizers said. Food and drinks will also be for sale at
the event.
