Countryside Fire Protection District will host its Annual Open House on Sunday, October 9, 2022 from 8 a.m. to Noon at Station 2 (600 N. Deerpath Drive, Vernon Hills).  This event kicks off Countryside’s observance of Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 9-15).  The theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week is “Fire Won’t Wait. Plan Your Escape.”

The fire station will be open to the public for station tours, sitting in the fire trucks and plenty of safety information exhibits will be set up with handouts for all that attend.  This is an excellent family activity,and a great opportunity to brush up on fire and life safety at home. So come meet your local firefighter/paramedics and check out all the equipment they have to use in the event of an emergency.

For additional information, please contact Lt. Tony Rodkey, Fire & Life Safety Director at (847) 367-5511 or arodkey@countrysidefire.com.  We hope to see you there!
