Fire Fest is an annual event that highlights fire and life safety for children and families.

This year’s free event is Sept. 28 from 10am-3pm at Lake Tahoe Airport.

Helicopters will star at Fire Fest as they land at the airport. Sit in a fire truck, escape from the smoke house, wear firefighting equipment, squirt fire hoses, play in a bounce house, meet Smokey Bear and Sparky, watch fire departments compete, and learn about fire resistant construction.
