All fire stations in Arlington County will host an Open House for Fire Prevention Week 2012 on Saturday, October 13, 2012. The Cherrydale Volunteer Fire Department, located at the historic fire station (3900 Lee Highway) will host a variety of activities during our Open House from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM. During the Open House, you will have the opportunity to interact with your volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians, observe demonstrations of firefighter skills such as rapidly donning firefighting gear and self-contained breathing apparatus, learn about the fire apparatus and firefighting tools, and even climb inside a real fire engine! You can tour our historic fire station. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to learn valuable fire prevention tips and how to plan and practice escape from a home in case a fire occurs.
