If you’re looking for a fun, free community event that’s hands-on and feet-on—and offers memorable safety training for kids and parents alike, mark Saturday, June 12, on your calendar. From 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., West Metro Fire Rescue and a host of volunteers will present Fire Muster 2010 at the Red Rocks Community College campus in Lakewood. St. Anthony Central Hospital is pleased to be the title sponsor for this annual event. Whatever your children’s or grandchildren’s ages, learning experiences abound. Preschoolers will practice learning how to crawl low under smoke and why helmets are so important when bike/trike riding. Elementary-school-aged kids can help put out a fire with a fire hose, check out the big fire rigs and take part in the bunker gear relay. While you need to leave your dog at home, SPOT, the West Metro mascot, will be present for pictures.
