More than 300 people attend the Scarsdale Fire Department's Fire Fair on Saturday October 14. The fair demonstrated how to prevent fires and what to do in the case that one breaks out.

There was a stove fire/ grease fire demonstration, where people learned the proper way to use a fire extinguisher. A demonstration on the proper fire extinguisher to pick for certain types of fire was given by Steve Rossi of AAA Emergency. There was a bouncy house on hand from the children and plenty of popcorn, cotton candy and hotdogs to eat.

Career firefighters wore pink tee shirts for the month of October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness.
