Open House and BBQ- Fire Prevention Week 2024
October 12, 2024 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
The Prince Edward County Fire Department is hosting a series of events in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week, including an Open House and BBQ (hotdogs) on Saturday, October 12 from 11 am to 2 pm at the following Fire Stations:
- 8 McDonald Drive (Picton)
- 126 County Road 32 (Hallowell)
- 3080 County Road 10 (Milford)
- 2771 County Road 5 (Sophiasburgh)

The Prince Edward County Fire Department will conduct a door-to-door campaign between October 6 and 12 in the evening to inform the public about the importance of working smoke alarms in the home. Having working smoke alarms and a plan to help you escape is the best chance to keep you and your family safe in the event of a fire, it’s also the law.
Test your smoke alarms at least once a month to ensure they work. Remember to change the batteries at least once a year or whenever the low-battery warning sounds.
