CHANDLER, Ariz. – The Chandler Fire Department is holding a free open house for the public from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023 at Fire Station No.11. This event is part of ongoing efforts to educate residents about the services provided by the Chandler Fire Department and to share safety, fire prevention and emergency preparedness information with the public.

Attendees can gather and learn more about “Cooking safety starts with YOU!” which is the theme for 2023 Fire Prevention Week.

In addition to tours of the station there will be fire trucks, ambulance and apparatus displays, and demonstrations of emergency medical services. Blood pressure checks will be available, along with drowning prevention information. In the Fire Safety House display, children will get hands-on instruction on how to get out of a smoke-filled environment. Free balloons and fire helmets will be available. 

This open house will also feature instruction on Hands-Only CPR, which when performed by a bystander has been shown to be as effective as “conventional” CPR in emergencies that occur at home, work or in public. There are only two steps to remember: call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

Fire Station No. 11 is located at 4200 S. Gilbert Road., between Ocotillo and Chandler Heights roads. For more information about the open house, please call 480-782-2120 or visit Chandler Fire Open House.
