Ellicott City Volunteer Fire Department Open House

The Ellicott City Volunteer Fire Department will hold its annual Open House on Saturday, October 15th, from 1:00pm until 4:00pm at Fire Station #2, 4150 Montgomery Road, Ellicott City, MD 21043. Visitors, both children and adults, can enjoy some food and fun, while they collect some useful public safety information. Children can use a real fire hose or carry a dummy in one of our Junior Firefighter Challenge activities, they can explore the fire trucks, and even have their faces painted. We will also offer blood pressure checks, vehicle rescue demonstrations, and tours of the fire station. Visitors will have opportunities to meet and talk to the men and women responding to fire and rescue emergencies in our community. If you find the firefighter with a boot collecting contributions, and decide to make a donation while you’re visiting, we would certainly appreciate it, but the event is free to the public. We hope you can make it!
