On Sunday, October 6th, the CFFD Open House was held at Croton Falls Fire Headquarters located 1 Sun Valley Drive. Open House is offered in the beginning of October to kick-off fire prevention week.

- Operate a booster line and extinguish a simulated fire.
- Operate a fire extinguisher and extinguish a cooking fire.
- Operate a water can and extinguish a propane fed fire.
- Operate airbags to lift a vehicle in the event of an incident requiring a patient pinned under a vehicle.
