Families learned about fire preparedness in the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department and Arlington County Fire Department’s “Have Two Ways Out!” open house last Saturday. While learning about the importance of fire escape plans, visitors were also able to see and sometimes even operate the equipment used by the firefighters of Fire Station No. 6 on N. Washington Street.

The youngest of visitors were entertained by Sparky the Fire Dog, as well as the opportunity to sit behind the wheel of a fire truck. (Photos: Rebecca Moot)
