The Chandler Fire Department is scheduled to host a free community open house on Saturday, November 14, from 9 a.m. to noon at Fire Station No. 8. This event is part of the department's ongoing efforts to educate residents about its services and to provide crucial information on safety, fire prevention, and emergency preparedness.
