HELICOPTERS�WILL�STAR�AT�FIRE�FEST�THIS�YEAR as they land at the South Lake Tahoe Airport for Fire Fest 2011. What an incredible opportunity to get a close up look at these amazing machines. Crews will be on hand to answer questions and explain how they help us when we need it most.

Fire Fest is an annual event hosted by our local fi re agencies, including Lake Valley Fire District, the U.S. Forest Service, the Tahoe-Douglas Fire District, Fallen Leaf Fire District, the City of South Lake Tahoe Fire Department, CalFire and the Nevada Fire Safe Council, and sponsored by the Lake Tahoe Kiwanis Club. This event highlights all of our safety agencies, creating a day celebrating fi re and life safety for children and families.

Southwest Gas, South Tahoe Public Utility District, Liberty Energy, Clean Tahoe Program and South Tahoe Refuse have added home safety, energy and water conservation to this broad ranging community event with interests for everyone. The South Lake Tahoe Boys and Girls Club and El Dorado County Sheriff STAR volunteers assist with fun children’s activities. The Lake Tahoe Fire Academy cadets assist throughout the event. Food and beverages, barbequed by the Kiwanis Club, are available at reasonable prices.

Activities include fi re engines and equipment, vehicle extrication, a burn demonstration of rooms with and without fi re sprinklers, home safety ideas, free hand out material and lots of special a� ractions for kids, like water fi ghts, bounce house and Smokey Bear, Sparky and other friends. Kids can earn a pass for a drawing for ski passes and other cool prizes.

What does Fire Fest achieve? Over the past 18 years, we have distributed hundreds of smoke detectors and fi re extinguishers for local homes, reduced incidents involving children and matches, met the people who help us in emergencies, fi ngerprinted hundreds of our children, provided bicycle and car seat safety information and, overall, created safer homes, vehicles, streets, neighborhoods and forests.
