This year Henderson Fire Department will celebrate its 75th anniversary in conjunction with the expo. Originally placed into service in 1942 to protect the Basic Magnesium Plant, it went on to become the Henderson Fire Department with the city’s incorporation in 1953. The public will be invited to watch firefighters give live demonstrations of fire suppression, vehicle extrication, technical rescue and emergency medical services.

Henderson’s Fire and Police departments host the expo annually to increase community awareness of, and access to, the public safety resources available in Southern Nevada. The expo incorporates National Night Out, a community-building campaign that promotes public safety and neighborhood camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer, better places to live.

The event is open to the public and admission is free. More than 4,000 attendees are expected.
