This year National Fire Prevention Week will be held the week of October 3rd to 9th.

Lionville Fire Company will be hosting our annual event at the fire house from 6 to 8 PM on Thursday, October 7th, 2010. This event is open to the public.

During this annual event, we offer to the public, handouts and other materials on fire safety, fire/rescue demonstrations, fire police operations, information on addressing signage, and tours of our station and equipment. All of the fire apparatus will be on display for all to see and touch.

This annual event becomes larger and larger every year with more and more community residents attending.
