Fire Fest to highlight safety

Fire Fest is Sept. 27 from 10am-3pm at Lake Tahoe Airport.

Fire Fest is a free annual event that highlights fire and life safety for children and families. Helicopters will star at Fire Fest as they land at the South Lake Tahoe airport.

People can get inside 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.
