Members of the Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department will be helping during the 2014 National Night Out which will be held at our carnival grounds, 6680 Sykesville Road, Tuesday, August 5th, 2014 6pm to 9pm. The introduction of National Night Out, “America’s Night Out Against Crime”, began in 1984 an effort to promote involvement in crime prevention activities, police-community partnerships, neighborhood camaraderie and send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. NATW’s National Night Out program culminates annually, on the first Tuesday of August. This year at National Night Out, members of SFDFD will be promoting the message "Smoke Alarm Safe lives" by handing out (1) "Free" 10 years Lithium battery Smoke Alarm to residents who live in Eldersburg/Sykesville (ID will be required to obtain a free smoke alarm) Come learn more about Smoke Alarms and proper placement.
