Welcome to the Ellicott City Volunteer Fire Department 2020 Virtual Open House! Throughout the week we will be utilizing our social media accounts to provide the history of ECVFD and share important fire safety tips. This year's open house theme will be Kitchen Fire Safety. The National Fire Protection Association estimates that each year U.S. fire departments respond to over 156,000 kitchen fires. The vast majority of kitchen fires involve cooking. Visit our open house page all week for more information about cooking related fires, fun fire safety activities for kids, and information about the history of ECVFD. https://www.ellicottcityvfa.com/content/openhouse.
