SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- As part of Fire and Rescue Day at the state fair, you're encouraged to visit the Fire Safety Zone. It's open every day from 10:00 am to 10:00 pm.

Children will particularly enjoy the House of Hazards as they identify the hazards that may cause a fire. Smaller children will also enjoy the daily puppet shows and Hector the Oversized Smoke Detector.

Officials said Fire and Rescue Day is also a great day to thank a firefighter and acknowledge their efforts.

"Fire safety day is every day of the year. You should be conscious of what you're doing around your house, even for a safety standpoint for young kids and hot water and things like that so every day should be fire safety day," said Fran Stepien, a Fire Education Center Volunteer.
