PUTNAM — The Putnam Fire Department is inviting the public to an open house Saturday, October 17, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 189 Church Street, according to WINY Radio’s event report.

The announced activities include fire-truck tours, a Kids Corner and an auto-extrication demonstration. Visitors will also have an opportunity to meet local firefighters.

WINY published the announcement October 6. This is advance coverage of the October 17 program, rather than a new emergency or a report that the event has already occurred.

The announcement directs people seeking details to Lieutenant Mike Ciaramicoli at 508-523-9535. Admission terms and a weather or cancellation plan were not specified, so visitors should confirm those details with the department.
