Join the Camden Fire Department and other community partners for the 28th Annual Fire Fest on Saturday, September 28! Beginning with a parade downtown of current and antique fire trucks, activities start at 9 am. Fire Fest takes place at Camden City Arena, 420 Broad Street until 1 pm.

This family friendly event allows residents and visitors learn about the importance of fire prevention and fire safety while enjoying live firefighting demonstrations and competitions, as well as a live burn to show the basics of outdoor grill safety, getting up close and personal with antique fire trucks, and engaging in other live entertainment and games for all age. Admission is free for all ages.

Each year, Fire Fest is the kick off for the national annual Fire Prevention Week™. This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ campaign is “Smoke alarms: Make them work for you!™” and strives to educate everyone about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home.

This event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community partners, including our Captain level sponsors: Canfor Southern Pine; Cantey, Tiller, Pierce & Green; the City of Camden; Community Broadcasters; Connell Law Firm; Savage, Royall & Sheheen; Upchurch & Jowers; and the UPS Store.
