HOT TIP: Who among us hasn't been fascinated by a firetruck at some point in his life? Something about all those gadgets, lights and horns appeals to an elemental part of our being. Northwest Fire Department gives the public a chance to check it all out from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 3, Saturday, with an open firehouse. Tour the stations, get a close-up look at trucks and equipment and talk with the firefighters. Call 742-4749 for the location of the fire station near you. It's a lot more enjoyable to visit their house than to have them visit yours.
