What is planned

The official event flyer lists a vehicle-extrication demonstration, a smoke-house experience, help creating a home escape plan, opportunities to try on fire gear, local food, a bounce house and chances to meet local firefighters.

Brighton Area Fire Authority traces its organization to 1876 and serves the City of Brighton, Brighton Township and Genoa Township. The organizer has not identified a specific Main Street block on the public event page, so visitors should check the official open-house page and event flyer for any location updates.
