Fire station open house

If you’ve ever wanted to climb into a fire truck, now’s your chance. Saint-Laurent’s Station 72 firehouse is opening their doors next Saturday.

For the third year in a row, the Montreal fire department will hold its open house—that includes 22 fire stations on the island.

Between 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on May 7, Montrealers can learn what it takes to be a firefighter, get safety tips from firefighter’s themselves and get an inside look at their local firestation—and yes, that really does mean you can climb in the truck.

Saint-Laurent’s Station 72 is located at 2727 Poirier Blvd. For more information, or to see all the participating stations, visit ville.montreal.qc.ca/sim
