Cambridge is getting innovative this Halloween. The city's fire houses would be opening their doors to the public for a Halloween Open House on October 31st. Targeted at local families, this event is scheduled from 4-6 p.m.

The event promises a safe and fun-filled Halloween with a plethora of activities for children. Candy, provided by Cambridge Brands, will be given out to the little revelers.

Interestingly, even as the event unfolds, the fire companies would continue their services, being ready to swiftly respond to emergencies. This unique context of the event taking place at active fire stations showcases a critical community service in action.

With a keen focus on safety, the city has also released a Halloween Safety Notes. This resource presents pertinent reset reminders to have costume visible in dim light, trial run face paint and inspect treats before consuming them, among others.

This innovative Halloween Open House serves that communities can bring together fun and responsibility, creating a wonderful experience for citizens of all ages. The example set by Cambridge's collaboration with local businesses and emergency services could provide inspiration to other cities.

As you embark on celebrating Halloween, keep an eye on your surroundings is necessary and put safety tips from local authorities into practice. Have a safe, memorable, and happy Halloween!
