Meet the people who show up when the alarm goes off. Ann Arbor Fire Station 5, the station that serves North Campus and Northwood, is opening its doors to our community on for a guided tour led by the Ann Arbor Fire Department. Residents will see the engine and its equipment, look at the gear firefighters wear, and hear how a call comes in and how quickly a crew gets out the door.
Ira Harrison, the University's Fire Inspector and Community Risk Reduction Officer, is expected to join and cover apartment fire safety: what a Northwood alarm means, what to do when it sounds, and how to prevent the most common kitchen and electrical fires. Time is set aside for questions.
TRAVEL INFORMATION: The station is at 1946 Beal Ave, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, a short walk from Northwood on North Campus. RAs will lead a group walk leaving the Northwood Community Center, 1000 McIntyre Dr, at 9:40 AM. Residents may also drive and park at the station, or meet the group at the station at 10:00 AM.
Open to all Northwood residents and their household members. Children are welcome; for safety reasons an accompanying adult must supervise children at all times.
Space is limited, so registration and RSVP to tasmine@umich.edu is required.
