The City of London is hosting their annual Emergency Preparedness Open House on Saturday, May 11, and everyone is invited! Londoners are encouraged to bring the whole family to the Byron Fire Station #12 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a day full of fun activities.
Londoners will be able to tour the Byron Fire Station #12, speak with London’s first responders, climb aboard emergency vehicles, participate in emergency-related activities and more.
“We are looking forward to yet another exciting Emergency Preparedness Open House,” says Paul Ladouceur, Director of Emergency Management and Security Services. “Planning and preparing for an emergency can be a daunting task for folks. At our Open House, we will share education and resources on emergency preparedness with Londoners in a way that is enjoyable and engaging, even for the kids.”
