Rep. Stone to host fire safety and prevention event
Reducing risk of property loss, injury among topics of discussion
State Rep. Lori Stone will host a fire safety and prevention event at the Center Line Fire Hall Nov. 29 from 7-8 p.m.
The event is meant to help community members reduce the risk of property loss, injury and death caused by fire.
“Fire safety is more than stop, drop and roll,” Stone said. “It’s not everyday we get to hear from three experts in the field of fire safety, get a safety demonstration and take a tour of the fire station.”
Fire trucks and other public safety vehicles will be on site. Free resources and refreshments will be available.
Attendees may receive a free smoke detector, allocated from the Fire Safety Grant that is used to fund resources to equip and train emergency personnel, enhance efficiencies and support community fire resilience.
Stone will also provide information on current legislation that can assist families and the communities of her district.
Additional presenters are MI Prevention/ Community Risk Reduction Division Chief Bureau of Fire Services Kymberly Pashkowsky; Division Fire Chief/ Fire Marshal of Center Line Public Safety Charles Schuber; and state Fire Marshal Director Kevin Sehlmeyer. The tour and demonstration will be conducted by Center Line Public Safety.
Presentations will be both inside and outside the facility, so attendees are encouraged to dress accordingly.
The Center Line Fire Hall is located at 7070 E. 10 Mile Road west of Van Dyke Avenue.
