Just an FYI that many of the Fairfax County Public Safety locations are hosting their open house events today.

I know that West Spfld. Police and FD have theirs along with the Burke FD. I have seen signs for others.

The hours are 10am - 3pm


A nice day to be outdoors!!!!!

I took my kids to the open house at West Spfld Station, as the Firehouse beside it offered a two-visits for one trip kinda thing ;-)

This was the best one yet - It was well organized and friendly!


The first thing we did was ride the ponies. They had 4 or 5 of them there! Aside from the one girl at kept getting back in line, it was decent.


I put the "beer goggles" on and tried the "impaired driving" excercise. I didn't hit a single cone. (I think they were surprised...) The young folks that were working that, were really nice. They wore "Explorer" patches on their uniforms.


The exhibit of Police Cars was decent. A 1940 cruiser was accompanied by a 1991 Crown Vic, a 1994 CVPI, and a 2007 CVPI.
There was also a paddywagon and a motorcycle. Beside that, sat a Yamaha R1 police bike in full regalia!

The fire Dept got a call while we were there and had to leave in a hurry - lights & siren!

To the kids that (rudely) cut in line, tell your parent to act right and keep you under control. Then again, the paddywagon may need "customers" one day, so keep it up...
