Everyone should know how to put out a small household fire with a fire extinguisher. Everyone wishing to learn this basic survival skill got their chance at the fire house last night. Here, young visitors listen carefully as firefighters Don Zehner, left, and Lieutenant Paul Tolle, right, show how it's done.

National Fire Prevention Week was October 4-10 and October is Fire Prevention Month.
As is their tradition, the Webster City Fire Department held an open house last night at the fire house. Visitors were able to personally inspect fire engines and related apparatus and equipment the department uses to fight fires.
There were several opportunities to learn about fire prevention and safety, a bouncy castle for kids, and a complimentary hot dog and drink for everyone. An estimated 250 persons attended between 6-8 p.m.
