Fire Station 14 was full of excitement and community spirit on Saturday, as the Kissimmee Fire Department welcomed residents and families for its Open House event. Attendees of all ages explored the station, which is located at 1101 Regatta Bay Blvd, getting a firsthand look at the world of firefighting and emergency response.
The family-friendly event gave attendees the chance to tour the station, meet local firefighters, and see live rescue demonstrations. Many children were thrilled to climb aboard fire trucks, explore life-saving equipment, and even take photos in firefighter gear.
Throughout the event, firefighters offered hands-on safety education, including CPR tips, home evacuation planning, fire extinguisher demonstrations, and guidance on disaster preparedness. These lessons were designed to empower families with the knowledge to stay safe at home and in emergencies.
“The Open House is about more than just fun — it’s about building relationships and promoting fire safety throughout Kissimmee,” said Fire Chief Jim Walls. “We’re proud to connect with our community and share the important work our firefighters do every day.”
The Kissimmee Police Department also took part in the event, generously providing bicycle safety helmets for both kids and adults, helping promote safety on and off the road.
Guests enjoyed interactive activities, free food, giveaways, and a welcoming environment that encouraged learning and engagement. For many, the highlight was simply getting to know the men and women who serve and protect the Kissimmee community.
Saturday’s event was a clear reminder of the Kissimmee Fire Department’s dedication to public safety and education. Well done Kissimmee Fire Department.
