The Princeton Fire Department recently held its annual open house from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday, Oct. 11.
The open house featured a children’s firefighter-themed obstacle course. Children carried a fire hose, crawled through a tube, moved around pylons, dragged a rescue mannequin, and knocked down inflatable flames with a water hose.
