Open house offers fire safety tips, kits and demos

SOLANA BEACH — Halloween safety kits, sidewalk CPR training, face painting, food and live music were all part of an Oct. 25 Solana Beach Fire Department open house.

But the most popular activities, especially among the younger attendees, were pretending to drive fire trucks, a lifeguard jet ski and other emergency vehicles.

The annual event also included fire prevention tips, a vehicle extrication and live fire demonstrations.
