The Oceanside Fire Department held its annual Fire Prevention Day on Saturday, Oct. 5 at the Thomas Bettes Sr. Memorial Training Center. The event drew a large crowd of local residents eager to learn about fire safety and prevention.

Attendees were treated to live fire demonstrations, an auto extrication display, and a hands-on experience with self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) through a maze setup. Children and families had the opportunity to tour a fire truck, observe EMS demonstrations, and enjoy a display of antique fire engines.

In addition to the educational activities, food and ice cream trucks were on site, and the pumpkin patch with decorating stations provided a fun seasonal activity for the kids. The event helped reinforce the importance of fire safety in the community.
