From 2-4pm on Halloween, every Cambridge Fire Department station—like this one near Central Square—will be open to the public. Image via Wikimedia Commons.

It’s an annual tradition for the men and women of the Cambridge Fire Department: from 2:00pm-4:00pm on October 31, all CFD stations will be open to the public. Parents and trick-or-treaters are encouraged to stop by, take a look at the big red trucks, and grab some free candy and glow sticks for later on in the evening. The candy has been generously donated by Cambridge Brands on Main St., and all open houses are completely free.

Engine 5 at the Inman Square fire station is currently down for repairs, but other than that, every fire engine should be available for your little ones. If you have any questions, please contact the Cambridge Fire Department’s Lieutenant Michael Hughes at 617-349-4153 or mhughes@cambridgefire.org.
