Come out and welcome the Christmas season with Richmond Fire-Rescue and their annual community “Lighting of the Fire Halls.”
Each day, from Dec. 1 to 5, one of five fire halls will open its doors to everyone in the community to come out and enjoy the season.
One lucky visitor will be chosen to turn on the switch to bring the lights and decorations to life at each of the participating fire halls.
Blaze, the Richmond Fire-Rescue mascot, will be greeting people, and firefighters will be sharing important fire safety information, including kitchen safety and smoke alarms.
There will refreshments, crafts and more. The Lighting of Fire Halls takes place each day from 3:30 to 5 p.m. as follows:
Monday, Dec. 1: Brighouse Fire Station, 6960 Gilbert Rd,; Tuesday, Dec. 2: Steveston Fire Station, 11011 No. 2 Rd.; Wednesday, Dec. 3: Sea Island Fire Station, 3911 Russ Baker Way; Thursday, Dec. 4: Shellmont Fire Station, 9400 No.4 Rd; Friday, Dec. 5: Hamilton Fire Station, 22451 Westminster Hwy.
