Story

Fire Prevention Day in Rehoboth Beach around the Bandstand

The Rehoboth Beach Volunteer Fire Company hosted its Annual Fire Prevention Day commencing 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8th at the Rehoboth Beach Bandstand. All ages were welcome to attend.

Guests were able to see fire trucks, firefighters, personal watercraft used for water rescues, police officers, EMTs and many more public servants who work hard every day to help keep individuals and families safe. Anyone interested in joining the fire company or another local company is encouraged to stop by and talk to any member at any respective fire company booth.

Service providers included members of the Sussex County Emergency Medical Services; fire companies from Indian River, Lewes, Rehoboth Beach Police Department, and more.

“Cooking safety starts with YOU. Pay attention to fire prevention™,” is the 2023 theme and works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe when cooking.

Research tells us that cooking fires is the leading cause of home fires and home injuries!

Unattended cooking is the leading cause of cooking fires and deaths.

Cooking safety is of utmost importance.

Illustrated herewith are photographs of day’s activities.
