Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department

***FIRE FAIR 2024***

One week from today on Sunday, October 6th, the Croton-on-Hudson Fire Department will host our annual Fire Prevention Open House Event, known as “FIRE FAIR.”

Fire Fair is open to residents of the Village of Croton and the Croton-Harmon School District, kicking off National Fire Prevention Week. Our annual event features fire prevention and safety information for adults and children, all in the interest of keeping everyone “fire safe.”

This year’s event will focus on the theme of “Smoke Alarms: Making them work for you.” Attendees will get to participate in five skill “stations” learning about fire prevention and safety where completing these tasks is rewarded with a fire truck ride around the neighborhood!

There will be food, drinks, magic shows and so much more.

Stop by our Harmon Firehouse at 30 Wayne Street next Sunday 10/6 from 1-5pm. This event is FREE to Croton and Croton-Harmon School District residents of all ages!

IN THE NEWS----NEW HATE SPEECH LAWS SCRAPPED IN IRELAND

The Irish Government has announced it is scrapping its plans to introduce significant updates to Ireland’s existing hate speech laws, as there is not enough support for the proposed legislation. Remarkably, the legislation had already passed the lower house of the Irish Parliament by an overwhelming margin (114 in favour, 10 against) in April 2023, but began to stall in the Senate as its more problematic features came to light. It had gained international notoriety when it came under fire from X’s CEO, Elon Musk. MORE AT New Hate Speech Laws Scrapped in Ireland ⋆ Brownstone Institute
