The community is invited to come enjoy a fun evening with local fire departments for the annual Fire Prevention Block Party on Thursday, Sept. 29 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Idaho Falls Fire Department Station 1 Headquarters located at 343 E Street.
“It’s been a couple of years since we’ve hosted our block party, so we are excited to bring the event back and interact with our community in a fun and relaxed atmosphere,” IFFD Public Information Officer Kerry Hammon said.
The block party celebrates the kick off of the National Fire Protection Association’s Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 9-15). This year marks 100 years of fire prevention education with a theme of, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape," which reinforces the critical importance of developing a home escape plan with all members of the household and practicing it regularly.
