Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia can look forward to several more days of dry and comfortable weather before the return of typical summertime showers and thunderstorms later this weekend.
Children and families will have an opportunity to learn about fire safety and meet local firefighters during a special event happening today at the Chattooga County Library in Summerville.
The Sara Hightower Regional Library System is hosting Safety Day with the Summerville Fire Department today at 11 a.m. at the Chattooga Library, located at 360 Farrar Drive.
The event is designed for children ages 0 to 11 and will feature local firefighters sharing important safety information in a fun and engaging environment. Young attendees will also have the opportunity to tour a fire truck, meet firefighters, and learn about the equipment they use to protect the community.
Organizers say the program is intended to help children become more familiar with fire safety practices while giving them a chance to interact with local first responders.
The event is free and open to the public. Families are encouraged to attend and take advantage of this educational opportunity while school is out for the summer.
