 Next week is fire safety week and the Bemidji Fire Department is celebrating by inviting the community to their annual open house and fish fry fundraiser. The open house will be held next Saturday on October 13th from 10 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon. It's being held at the Bemidji Fire Department's main station in downtown Bemidji. The fish fry fundraiser will start after the open house at 5. Firefighters call the event their last big hurrah of the year and say it's a great opportunity for everyone to get to know some of their first responders. Get some time with one-on-one with the firefighters. You have to put your hands on some of the gears and tools that we use to extinguish fires in households. We will also have an engine so the kids will get a free ride throughout the day from 10 to 2. And then at 5 o'clock we have our annual fish fry fundraiser. We're serving deep-fried walleye that was given or bought from Red Lake Nation Fisheries. Tickets for the fish fry are available at the fire hall and are $15 for adults and $7 for kids.
