Colwood Fire Rescue is opening its doors to the public this weekend as part of its annual open house.

Residents will get the chance to meet local firefighters and mascot Sparky the Fire Dog, ride a fire engine, try out a fire hose and extinguisher, and tour the firefighters’ museum.

There will also be children’s activities and balloons, as well as interactive equipment displays and demonstrations.
