On Saturday, September 20, 2008 Fire Safety House 5 took part in an event at the Gethsemane Baptist Church. The church, located at 2500 Enterprise Road in Mitchellville, held its very first health fair.

Approximately 100 parishioners and visitors were in attendance at the event. Fire Safety House 5 was well received and our audience was attentive and interested in learning more about fire safety.

We'd like to thank the Gethsemane Baptist Church for inviting us and for all of those who came out to learn about safety.
