Roseville Fire Department holds open house Oct. 14

The 2023 Roseville Fire Department open house will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 14 at the main headquarters, located at 18750 Common Road.

The event will be held at the main headquarters, located at 18750 Common Road. The department’s fire prevention and fire suppression units have organized a number of activities. Several of the department’s firetrucks, along with a few Department of Public Works vehicles, will be on display.

During the afternoon, there will be opportunities to operate a hose and Jaws of Life demonstrations, and firefighters will be on-site to show the proper way to use a fire extinguisher.

Children will want to check out the “candy drop” from the department’s ladder truck, and a coloring contest for kids is planned. The contest winner will get the chance to spend a day at the fire station.

Roseville’s open house coincides with National Fire Prevention Week, which this year is Oct. 8-14. The 2023 theme is “Cooking Safety Starts with You.”

There will not be an open house this year at the Eastpointe Fire Department, as currently there is no parking at or around the station.
