The Johns Creek Fire and Police departments will perform several demonstrations as part of "Community Safety Day" on Saturday, Oct. 5, 9 a.m. to noon at the State Bridge Corners Shopping Center (Home Depot & Target Parking lots), 5950 State Bridge Road, Johns Creek.

"Community Safety Day," a FREE event and precursor to Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 6-12), helps heighten awareness about basic safety issues.

Firefighters and police officers also perform a variety of rope rescue and fire extinguisher demonstrations, SWAT exercises and radKIDS® demonstrations to show some of the many skills they use regularly. Visitors can ask questions of Johns Creek firefighters and police officers and learn about public safety vehicles and equipment.
