Fire Prevention Open House

Join the Arlington County Fire Department on October 15th from 11am - 3pm for our first ever centralized open house. This year, the ACFD is centralizing all of our open house events into a single location. There will be tons of live demonstration and static displays, as well as live music and fire prevention education. While the event is FREE, it is ticketed and you MUST have a ticket for entry.

The open house is broken down into 3 different times, with 3 very different live demonstrations for you to see. At the end of the time block, a 30 minute pause will occur to allow for patrons to safely exit before the next group of ticketed attendees arrive.

Parking

Parking is limited, with a public parking garage located directly across from the event venue being the only parking structure. Attendees are encouraged to walk/bike if possible. Parking is on a first come, first serve basis.
