Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a firefighter in Delta?

Now is your chance to find out at the department’s annual community open houses.

The South Delta open house will be held at Hall No. 1 (4645 Harvest Dr., Ladner) on Saturday, June 9, while the North Delta open house will be held at Hall No. 3 (11375-84th Ave., North Delta) on Saturday, June 16. Both will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Firefighter Dave Wood said the department uses the open houses as a chance to show off the department and what it does in the community.

“At both our open houses we will have a number of demonstrations, cooking hot dogs and our Men in Black team will have our junior firefighter obstacle course set up, so they can run through that and get their fire hat and certificate of completion. It’s going to be a fun day,” said Wood. “All of vehicles will be on display and the kids can jump inside the trucks and just get a chance to see what firefighting is all about.”

The schedule for both days includes: a high angle demo at 11 a.m., auto extrication demo at 1 p.m. and a hazmat demo at 2 p.m.
