The Healdsburg Fire Department opened its doors for its annual open house on Oct. 12. The department’s fleet of trucks and ladder apparatus trucks were on display and firefighters also gave demonstrations on how to properly use a fire extinguisher using the PASS method: pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger and sweep from side to side at the base of the fire.
The event also featured a display of an ambulance from Bell’s Ambulance. Attendees got to take a look inside or even get their blood pressure checked.
Later, Smokey the Bear made an appearance, high fiving and fist bumping with kids and parents.
Before the open house concluded firefighters conducted a demonstration on how they would tackle a roof fire.
