Public Safety Day for autistic/neurodivergent youth
Sat, Apr 26, 2025 at 10:00 AM
This free event will be held at Milan Area Fire Department (45 Wabash Street) on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
We'll have 2 sessions: one for younger children and a second one for older children and teens.
10:00-11:30
best for preschool and younger elementary ages
(We do not have set ages. You can choose the group that works best for you.)
At 10:00, a Milan firefighter will talk with the children and put on his turnout gear, so they can see what a firefighter looks like at a fire. After this demonstration, families can explore the vehicles and resources at their own pace.
11:30-1:00
best for teens and older children
(We do not have set ages. You can choose the group that works best for you.)
Drop in any time between 11:30 and 1:00 to talk with firefighters and police officers and explore the vehicles and resources.
