[VIDEO] Fire Prevention Week Ended With Demonstrations by Old Lyme Fire Department

Old Lyme Fire Department's annual open house, which was held on Oct. 12 this year, was a great opportunity to watch the volunteer fire fighters in action.

There were smoking hot fire fighting demonstrations and a lot of action with chainsaws as fire fighters demonstrated how they cut apart a vehicle when a person is trapped inside.

Kids enjoyed tours of the fire engines and the ambulance but the biggest hit is always the ladder truck, Fire Chief Tom Swaney said. "We have a really big turnout," he added.
