Streamwood Fire Dept. open house Oct. 1

With 2011 serving as the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and the 140th anniversary of the Great Chicago Fire, this fall is an opportune time to honor and learn more about the efforts of local firefighters.

The Streamwood Fire Department will host an open house from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 at Fire Station 2, 900 W. Irving Park Road, next to Hoosier Grove Park.

There will be displays and activities for both adults and children. Learn about fire safety, spray a fire hose or watch a puppet show.
