The Bristol Fire Department came to Colt Andrews School on Wednesday, Oct. 11. to speak to first and second graders about firefighters, gear and fire safety during Fire Prevention Week.

On Saturday, the department is hosting a Fire Prevention Day from noon to 3 p.m. The event takes place, rain or shine, at the fire department headquarters on Annawamscutt Drive.

Firefighters will be leading demonstrations on fire safety and extrication, using fire extinguishers, and planning home escape routes. There will also be information on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and the Bristol Police Department will be checking and installing car seats and have a finger-printing booth.

Visitors can also learn about first aid/CPR, check their blood pressure and have a diabetic screening.

On the fun side, there will be face-painting and many other activities for kids.
