Johns Creek To Host Community Safety Day

JOHNS CREEK, GA — The city of Johns Creek will hold its annual Community Safety Day on Saturday, Sept. 29 in the parking lots of Home Depot and Target at 5950 State Bridge Road.

Hosted by the Johns Creek Police and Fire departments, attendees will be treated so several demonstrations from 9 a.m. to noon. This free event also serves as a precursor to Fire Prevention Week, which runs Oct. 7-13 and helps heighten awareness about basic safety issues.

Firefighters and police officers perform a variety of rope rescue, motorcycle, K-9 and fire extinguisher demonstrations and SWAT exercises. You can also expect women's safety demonstrations to show some of the many skills they use regularly.

Residents can ask questions of Johns Creek firefighters and police officers, and learn about city public safety vehicles and equipment. Informational handouts and safety checklists are available and the event features children's activities and food and drinks.
