On Friday October 13th, 2023 the Selden Fire Department held the Fire Prevention Open House at their Headquarters located at 44 Woodmere Place, in Selden.

The open house started at 6:30p.m and ended at 9:00p.m. There were many family fun activities like touch a truck, the smoke house, goodies, live demos, and stop drop and roll. Suffolk County Police also brought a rollover simulator to demonstrate what happens when you don’t wear a seatbelt and you’ve been involved in a crash with an overturn. Rewards were given out to the local elementary schools for fire prevention posters, this years theme was “Stop, Drop, and Roll”.

The live demos started at 7:00p.m, this year the Selden Fire Department Junior Company was permitted to participate in the live demos. Up first was the vehicle extraction demo. Next up was the dryer fire and grease fire demo followed by the bedroom fire and living room fire. The Junior Company worked hard in using the cutters and spreaders for the vehicle extrication, breaking windows for ventilation during the bedroom fire, extinguishing a dryer fire and hose handling.
