Fire Safety Field Day May 18

Join the Rotary Clubs of Aurora for a free, interactive Fire Safety Field Day from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 18, at the City of Aurora Public Safety Training Center, 25950 E. Quincy Ave., next to the Aurora Reservoir.

The Fire Safety Field Day will feature opportunities for families to see demonstrations like extrications and CPR, put out a fire, learn about scientific methods for fire investigations, climb inside a fire engine and ambulance, experience thermal imaging technology and race firefighters around the training ground.

The event coincides with the International Rotary Day of Service and kicks off a year-long fundraising campaign by the local Rotary chapters to purchase a mobile fire safety house for Aurora Fire Rescue. This trailer would be used to provide hands-on fire safety and emergency education to area schools, civic organizations and community groups.

The event is free and open to the public (with the completion of a safety waiver). As it is a fundraiser, donations are requested.
