Two days after battling a 1.5 hectare blaze up the road from its station, the Ellison Fire Department will be hosting a Family Fun Day this Saturday.
The department's annual open house goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 7, where residents can explore fire trucks, learn about fire safety, have a chance to use a fire extinguisher, enjoy a hot dog, and even a pony ride.
Central Okanagan Search and Rescue, Âé¶¹AV RCMP, and BC Ambulance Service will also have information booths at the event.
The Ellison Fire Department is located at 4411 Old Vernon Rd.
