Brian Hill and his 3-year-old son, Robert, spray a fire hose with the assistance of a firefighter during the 2024 open house.
The Ocean City Fire Department and IAFF Local 4032 will hold their annual open house at the station at 550 Asbury Ave. from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 9.
This year’s campaign, coinciding with National Fire Prevention Week, is themed “Charge into Fire Safety: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home” and will educate everyone about using these batteries safely.
The campaign stresses how important it is to buy, charge, and recycle safely when it comes to lithium-ion batteries.
Also at the open house, Local 4032 members will have a helicopter landing from JeffSTAT, a presentation on electrical safety from Atlantic City Electric, as well as showcasing their fire-suppression capabilities with a live-burn demonstration.
