The Wareham Fire Department will host its annual open house on Sunday, October 6, from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the 273 Main Street station.

Sponsored by Papa Gino's the open house is aimed at teaching families fire safety and prevention practices.

The open house is held in conjunction with National Fire Safety Month. Participants will receive safety tips, learn how to plan escape routes, and learn how to craw safely through a smoke-filled room.

"This event allows us to reach out to the community and arm local families with fire safety tips and procedures," said Chief Robert McDuffy. "Our open house allows families to get together and better prepares them to react if a fire does start."

The open house is part of a broader community relations campaign of Papa Gino's to encourage families to learn about fire safety.
