The Sarasota County Fire Department (SCFD) invites our community to a series of open houses at various fire stations throughout Sarasota County to educate and connect with our community through a series of engaging events.

The free, family-friendly open houses will be held one Saturday a month offering visitors the chance to meet their firefighters, see fire apparatus, learn about fire safety and prevention and more. Car seat safety inspections, bike helmet fittings, hands-only CPR instructions and blood donation opportunities may also be available. 

Join SCFD  from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12 at Station 17, 5431 Desoto Road, Sarasota. 

SCFD is proud to open its doors to our community, bringing the tradition of open houses into our neighborhoods. These events are a great opportunity for residents to engage directly with their neighborhood firefighters.
