Coon Rapids Fire Station #3 Invites Community To Open House Featuring Hands-On Activities And Tours

Calling all Coon Rapids residents and beyond for a morning mingling with local heroes at the annual Fire Department Open House. Slated for Saturday, October 12, from 10 a.m. to noon, the event is set to unfold at Fire Station #3, located conveniently at 3150 111th Ave., just across from Anoka-Ramsey Community College.

According to an update on the City of Coon Rapids' official website, the family-friendly affair promises a slate of activities that can engage kids and adults alike. Visitors can expect to get a close look at fire trucks and various emergency vehicles. Beyond mere display, attendees can feel the rush of handling a fire hose, an opportunity to step into the boots of firefighters who wrangle the high-pressure streams to combat blazes.

But it is not just vehicles on display, the Fire Department Open House also offers guided tours of the new station. Safety demonstrations will be conducted, likely to include critical information that could one day save a life presented in an accessible form.

Refreshments available at the event have not been specified, but they will be served to attendees free of charge. For parents contemplating a fun and educational experience for their children, and any resident with a curiosity about the inner workings of their fire department, this open house stands as a not-to-be-missed event.
