Fire Fest is back!
Fire Fest 2024 will be held on Saturday, September 28, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm at the SouthTahoe Middle School. Admission is free, and the event is a great opportunity for families to have fun while learning about safety and conservation.
There will be a burn house sprinkler demo, appearances by Smokey Bear, Sparky the Dog, vehicle extraction, ember house toss, bounce house, helicopter flyovers, and more.
Fire Fest began as a way to recognize National Fire Prevention Week, which was initially established in remembrance of the great Chicago fire of 1891, and to keep the public informed about the importance of fire prevention.
In 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation, and since 1922, Fire Prevention Week has been observed on the second Sunday in October. This year, Fire Prevention Week runs from Oct. 8-14. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record, according to the National Archives and Records Administration’s Library Information Center.
