(Batesville, IN) – Batesville Fire and Rescue is hosting an open house next Saturday, October 12 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the fire station on Catherine Street.
It’s part of Fire Prevention Week, which starts Sunday, October 6 and runs through next Saturday.
This year’s National Fire Protection Association campaign is “Smoke Alarms: Make Them Work for You.”
In addition, the department is raising funds to replace its extrication equipment, which is used when responding to automobile accidents.
Fire Chief Brian Hardebeck says much of the department’s current equipment is aging out and must be replaced.
You can make a donation by cash, check or by scanning a QR code on a flyer mailed to Batesville residents and businesses.
