Deerfield Parkway. There also will be equipment displays, a puppet show and an appearance by the Flight for Life helicopter, if available.
"Residents are invited to try their hand at extinguishing a fire with a portable fire extinguisher, and watch the difference that a home sprinkler makes for a room that is on fire," Chief Mike Baker said.
