The Spokane Fire Department, Safe Kids, Mobius Children's Museum, the Downtown Spokane Partnership and River Park Square are partnering for the inaugural Kids Junior Fire Academy. This free, family event will be held at River Park Square, Saturday, September 9 from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m.

“We are excited to be partnering for the first Kids Junior Fire Academy,” says Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer. “It is an excellent opportunity for kids and families to experience what it is like to be a firefighter, while learning important safety information.”

The Kids Junior Fire Academy is open to “kids” of all ages, and will provide an opportunity for attendees to tour and see demonstrations from a ladder truck and fire engine, learn hands-only CPR, make a craft with Mobius Children's Museum, operate a charged fire hose, learn about child passenger safety from SAFE Kids Spokane and so much more! Kids can collect stamps at each activity and receive a Jr. Firefighter certificate.

We hope to see you there!
