The open house will take place at Fire Station #1, this Saturday, at 9911 North Haggerty Road in Plymouth Township. The Pumpkin Patch is now open at both Station 1 and Station 3.
Everyone is welcome to help celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week.

Visitors can meet firefighters, police officers and first responders, see and touch the new township fire engine and ambulances, learn how to use a fire extinguisher, view fire safety demonstrations, spray fire hoses, see a motor vehicle accident with the Jaws of Life demonstration, hear stories and tour the Plymouth Township Police Department.
There will also be a Survival Flight helicopter ambulance from the University of Michigan.
