Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14, 2023
This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme is “Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention,” and it will highlight cooking safety tips, the importance of special meeting spots, and teaching kids who to call when an emergency happens.
Lakeshore Fire Department invites residents to attend the Fire Prevention Week Open Houses at all five local fire stations from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
These Open Houses will give attendees the chance to learn fire prevention, meet local firefighters, and check out firetrucks and equipment.
Open Houses will take place at:
- Station 1 - 1031 County Road 22, Emeryville
- Station 2 - 1465 Lakeshore Road 203, Maidstone
- Station 3 - Headquarters - 592 St. Charles Street, Belle River
- Station 4 - 2095 County Road 31, Ruscom
- Station 5 - 6400 Main Street, Comber
During the week, firefighters will also visit all ten Lakeshore grade schools to teach students about fire safety and what to do in an emergency.

Fire Safety Education
Our Firefighters visit schools and events to showcase Fire Safety. They also visit your residence to check your smoke detector to make sure your family is safe.
Please make sure you have a family fire safety plan so everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire.
