The Acushnet Fire Department held an open house last month, welcoming the public to a day of demonstrations and hands on activities. The public was invited to check out the fire apparatus, the station, and watch safety presentations.
“We all had an amazing time hosting our Open House,” wrote the department on its Facebook page. “We loved getting to meet so many of our wonderful residents and give them a chance to see the equipment and apparatus we use, show off our Station, and even give demonstrations of some of what we do.”
The department thanked Sanford and Son LTD for providing the car that was used in the Jaws of Life demonstration, and Shanna with K9 “Hero” from the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office for attending.
