Mooresville families are invited to attend the free events, which will include the local Fire Department, starting between 9am and 3pm on Saturday, Oct. 8 at the 509 River Highway Lowe’s location. Consumers should contact the store for local updates as hours are subject to change. Activities are designed to teach community members about installing smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in their homes, planning and practicing a fire escape plan, and operating a fire extinguisher.

Additionally, all U.S. Lowe’s stores will feature a build-your-own Fire Rescuer Kit event for kids on Oct. 8. These events will give them the opportunity to explore fire safety while building a hand-made toy. Registration for the Fire Rescuer Workshop is available at Lowes.com/DIYU. Smoke and CO alarms, as well as fire extinguishers, will be on display while educational materials and activities from First Alert will be available while supplies last.
