Open House at Fire Station Three
Scott Freitag
St. Charles Fire Department
The St. Charles Fire Department will hold our annual open house at Fire Station 3, 2817 Elm Street, on Saturday, June 18th, from 1:00 P.M. to 4:00 P.M. Firefighters and members of Healthy Communities St. Charles County will be on hand to fit children and adults with bicycle helmets. Helmets will be for sale for just $5.00 the day of the open house.
Summer is the time of year that people are back on their bikes taking to the roads and trails for a day of family fun. Without a helmet, the day can turn tragic quickly and without warning. That is why it is important for the fire department and healthy communities to send the message that a properly fitting bicycle helmet can save your life in an accident. A helmet provided to a young man at an area grade school last year saved his life just weeks after being fitted with the helmet by fire department personnel.
We invite the community to come by the firehouse and learn more about helmet safety and other services provided by the St. Charles Fire Department. Fire trucks will be on display.
