Merriwether Fire Department closed out Fire Prevention Week with their annual Open House at their main station on Martintown Road, Saturday, Oct. 15.  The roughly 150 people who attended this year’s event were treated to hamburgers and hotdogs and also got to see drone and excavation demonstrations.  All of the department’s trucks and equipment were also on display.  Children, and no doubt some adults, were able to climb about on the trucks, and some of the little aspiring firefighters even got a chance to spray a little water from one of the hoses.
