10/18/2014 - On the afternoon of Saturday, October 18, 2014 the Whitman Fire Department held their annual open house for residents at the Central Fire Station at 56 Temple Street. Firefighters showed off their equipment, apparatus, and fire station to the estimated hundreds of visitors. Visitors were able to get their faces painted, free pizza donated by Papa Gino's, and fire safety reading materials. This year, Whitman was able to secure the sprinkler demonstration trailer from the Department of Fire Services. The trailer demonstrated how a fire sprinkler can activate, and put out a fire before the smoke detectors sound.
