BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Buffalo Fire Department is hosting a number of drive-up open houses throughout October for Fire Prevention Month.
The Department will be holding drive-up events at four different firehouses so that the public has the opportunity to learn more about fire prevention. It's also a fun way to learn about how a firefighter lives thanks to virtual firehouse tours.
At each drive-up event, there will be free smoke detectors and coloring books, as well as information to keep local families safe from fires. The first event took place Wednesday night at Engine 4 on Abbott Road.
No registration is required to attend. People who do go are asked to please stay in their vehicles the entire time.
