Town of Batavia's fire department holds Open House

By Billie Owens

The Town Of Batavia Volunteer Fire Department will be holding its 3rd Annual Open House from noon to 3 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 10. The fire department is located at 8382 Lewiston Road.

This year the town "switched it up a little." According to fire Lt. Nathan Fix, they approached several larger businesses in the fire district and asked for donations.

As a result, they received approximately 75 smoke detectors and several carbon-monoxide detectors. The smoke detectors will given away on a first-come-first-serve basis, limited to one per household. For the carbon-monoxide detectors, there will be a free raffle.

As always, everything will be free -- hot dogs, lots of fire safety information and coloring
books with a nice handout for kids.

Please feel free to stop in and bring the kids to see some fire trucks. All are welcome, regardless of where you reside.

And the Town of Batavia is grateful for the donations and would like to give a big thanks to the following businesses: Lowes, Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Kmart, BJ’s and Office Max.
