Postponed due to poor weather last week, the day was picture perfect Sunday for New Milford Fire Department's annual Fire Awareness Day.

Kids got the opportunity to ride in a fire truck, go through a smoke house and go up in the bucket of the ladder truck. There were demonstrations on how to properly use a fire extinguisher and how to stop, drop and roll in the event of a fire.
