The firehouse on Madison Ave. held demonstrations and allowed kids to climb into the trucks.
The Warminster Fire Department held an open house at its station on Madison Ave. last night at 6:30 p.m. Young visitors had the chance to climb into one of the trucks and check out the equipment the firefighters use to enter smoke-filled homes and buildings.
