“Residents will also have the chance to explore fire trucks and learn about emergency preparedness and fire prevention at information booths hosted by BC Ambulance, Central Okanagan Search and Rescue and RCMP,” the release says.

The Ellison Fire Department, which was established 45 years ago, is located at 4411 Old Vernon Road.
