In recognition of National Fire Prevention Week (October 7-13), all Alexandria Fire Stations will be open to the public on Saturday, October 13 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. During this free event, each station will open its doors to the community, providing family-friendly activities, station and fire apparatus tours and fire prevention information and materials.
