The Oak Ridge Fire Department will be hosting a fire prevention celebration on Saturday, October 7, as part of the City’s 75th anniversary.
In the 1940s, Oak Ridge hosted a parade during Fire Prevention Week every October to help spread the word about fire safety. ORFD hopes to rekindle this tradition in honor of the City’s milestone anniversary.
The celebration will kick off with a “Then and Now” themed parade at ORFD Fire Station #3 on Tuskegee Drive and end at A.K. Bissell Park. Lineup for participants begins at 9 a.m., with the parade getting underway at 10 a.m.
Afterwards, everyone is invited to gather in A.K. Bissell Park at 11 a.m. for opening ceremonies that will include static displays, bounce houses, safety information booths, and emergency services demonstrations. We hope to see you there!
