Heat up your summer with some educational sizzle at the Cobb County Safety Village where the kiddos can play at firefighters for a day and everyone gets schooled in safety smarts. Ditch the beach for the streets of the safest village in Georgia, which is opening its doors for three hallmark dates this June and July.

Without needing to so much as sign your name on a dotted line, families can just show up ready to to thoroughly enjoy the hands-on zone from 9:00 a.m. till 1:00 p.m., as posted by the Cobb County's official website. The local fire heroes and emergency responders are doling out need-to-know safety tips with some serious hardware on display – think firetrucks and squad cars kids can actually touch.

Join us for a jam-packed day of firefighter fun! Kids will get to wear firefighter hats, ring the firetruck bell, and meet Sparky the mascot at Sparky's House. Don't forget your cameras for the mini "Strand Theatre" puppet show! We'll also teach important safety skills like stop, drop, and roll, and how to dial 911. And parents, we'll cover fire hazards at home to keep your family safe. See you there.

Remember to pack your own grub and gear for a picnic as no vending is on site. It doesn't matter if the clouds decide to crash the party – this event goes on rain or shine. Circle your calendars for Tuesday, June 11, Tuesday, June 18, and Monday, July 15, and be sure to show up early to snag a good spot for the safety spectacle. This village is more than a cute mock-up; it's a genuine spot to turn your little rascals into pint-sized pros at keeping themselves out of harm's way.
