Mark your calendar for the annual Spearfish Fire Department Open House from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, October 10, at Station 1, 622 N. Canyon St. A part of Fire Prevention Week, the event provides an opportunity for residents to learn more about the fire department and volunteer opportunities, meet the firefighters, and participate in a variety of family-friendly activities. Children will have the chance to ride in the fire trucks, try out a firefighter challenge course, try on bunker gear, spray a fire hose, practice how to escape a house in case of a fire, see an extrication demo, and learn about fire extinguishers. There will also be a walking taco fundraiser, hosted by the Spearfish Fire Auxiliary.
