Irvine, CA – It only takes a second for tragedy to strike. Learn how to keep your family safe from fire and
see how your firefighters train for response at Orange County Fire Authority's 6th Annual Open House on
Saturday, October 8th from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. at our Regional Fire Operations & Training Center located at 1
Fire Authority Road (Jamboree & Tustin Ranch Rd.) in Irvine. Bring your family and friends to see live fire
demonstrations, put out make-believe fires, take a ride in a fire engine, try on firefighter turnouts, and
discover life and fire safety in a fun-filled environment.
"Having our facility open to the public provides an opportunity to educate and inform residents
about dangers and hazards in and around their homes," said Chief Keith Richter. "We hope that residents
will gain a better understanding of how our firefighters train and live within the communities we serve."
To see how firefighters prepare and stay abreast of current firefighting techniques, demonstrations
on the training grounds will occur every half-hour beginning at 10 a.m. New this year, is the Urban Search
& Rescue dog demonstration. Make sure to stop by the courtyard area for interactive displays and
educational opportunities. For more information, visit www.ocfa.org or call (714) 573-6200.
You can also meet your local firefighters and see how they live and work in their day-to-day
operations on Saturday, October 15 at our Fire Station Open Houses in the 22 cities we serve from 9 AM to 2 PM.
