This week is National Fire Prevention Week in remembrance of the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. In honor of Fire Prevention Week, the Bend Fire Department will host an open house this Saturday from noon to four.

The open house will feature demonstrations of the Jaws of Life, K-9 units, and a live burn. This year’s theme is “Two Ways Out”, reminding us to make sure fire evacuation plans have more than one way to get out.
