BRENTWOOD, TN –  The Brentwood Fire and Rescue Department will hold its Sixth Annual Public Safety Day Festival from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, Saturday, October 15th, 2016 in the City Park Building parking lot located at 7101 Executive Center Drive.  The festival will include children’s activities and static displays of fire, police, and emergency medical vehicles. There will also be a residential fire sprinkler exhibition, as well as a vehicle extrication demonstration. 

Between 1,000-1,200 visitors are anticipated this year based on past festival attendance.  Previously, this event was held in the former Kroger parking lot off Franklin Road.

Brentwood Fire Chief Brian Goss says “this event is an excellent way to inform our community’s youngest residents about the responsibility of public safety and what to do if ever they encounter an emergency.”

 Event Coordinator Lieutenant Jay Williams says, “Bring your entire family out.  It will be a fun way to educate the kids about safety.”   There will be a jump castle, a hazmat trailer, a water spray station, K-9 units, DARE officers, free car seat checks, smoke simulator through a miniature doll house model, and CPR demonstrations.

 In addition to the Public Safety Day Festival, all four Brentwood Fire Stations will be open for tours on Saturday.  Firefighters will be able to discuss station life, explain their duties, and talk about fire safety.  Brentwood’s four stations are located at: 5211 Maryland Way, 1301 Wilson Pike, 1750 General George Patton Drive, and 1300 Sunset Road.
