What is our Fire Expo?
The Fort Washington Fire EXPO is held annually on the Monday of the week prior to Fire Prevention Week. Initially started as a way to educate the public about fire safety and fire prevention, the EXPO has grown into a much anticipated and very successful community event. Included in the program now are many area of injury prevention for people of all ages. Our visitors come from near and far and are mostly families with small children.
Our participants include dozens of fire and emergency squads, primarily from the Southeastern Pa area. We encourage our participants to demonstrate their "specialties", such as repelling, water rescue, vehicle rescue/extrication, drafting, hazmat, trench rescue and other skills.
Along with emergency responders, we invite numerous organizations such as the American Red Cross, The Burn Foundation, Pa. State Police, MADD, State Farm Insurance Co., PECO Energy, Pa State Fire Commissioner's Office, St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, and the University of Maryland Fire and Rescue Institute. Demonstrations and displays are set up both inside and outside the Upper Dublin Township Building.
Where is our Fire Expo?
In the past our Fire Expo was held at the Fort Washington Expo Center. They were extremely generous in volunteering their space every year. However, they closed in July 2006.
We are now located in and around the Upper Dublin Township Building, located at 801 Loch Alsh Ave, Fort Washington PA 19034. This new venue affords us the opportunity to return to our roots in the Township.
