Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department Hosts Fire Safety Expo on Saturday, October 8, 2016 Fun Family Event Kicks Off With a Pancake Breakfast Pleasanton, CA--The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) joins the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) in recognizing Fire Prevention Week from October 9-15. In observance of this important week, LPFD will host a free Fire Safety Expo on Saturday, October 8, 2016. The event will be held at the Fire Training Tower located at 3333 Busch Road in Pleasanton from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. This year’s Fire Prevention message is “Don’t wait – Check the Date!” According to the NFPA, every bedroom needs a working smoke alarm. Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. The event will feature giveaways, firefighter demonstrations, fire escape planning, information on fire safety, and much more. Families can experience our Fire Safety Trailer, learn how to use a fire extinguisher and see a Livermore Police K-9 demonstration. A children’s obstacle course is also included in this family event, along with disaster preparedness information and various other demonstrations and activities. To kick-off the fun, the Livermore-Pleasanton Firefighters Foundation will host a Pancake Breakfast that begins at 8:00 a.m. and continues to 11:00 a.m. Donations will be accepted in support of the Fallen Firefighters Foundation. LPFD personnel will be on hand throughout the event to answer questions and assist the community in protecting their loved ones from fire.
