Residents of Tacoma and Fircrest can celebrate Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 5- 11, by visiting six neighborhood fire stations from 1-4 p.m. on Sat., Oct. 11. Each station will be hosting different activities.

This year’s theme, “Prevent Home Fires” encourages everyone to team up and spread the message that fire safety saves lives. Stations will be open and equipment will be on display. Firefighters will answer questions about escape planning, fire safety and disaster preparedness.

The following six stations will host open houses:
