NORTH ADAMS — The North Adams Ambulance Service kicked off a week of honoring first responders by holding an open house at its headquarters at 10 Harris St. on Sunday.
Some 60 or more residents had visited the station by about noontime to have refreshments, look over the facility and equipment and talk with emergency medical technicians and other first-responders. There were also games and car-seat safety checks.
Children's activities included tattoo painting, a bouncy bounce and cotton candy.
Also on hand was the SAFE, the Safety Awareness and Fire Education house; city firefighter and fire educator David Simon took children through the house to teach them fire safety.
