Sunday, October 2, 2011 Rain, wind and some chilly weather didn't keep residents from visiting the Purcellville Safety Center for its Annual Open House.  Despite the weather, an estimated several hundred men, women and children enjoyed the activities at the center.  Kicking off the event was the famous Army Old Guard Fife and Drum Corp.  In addition to Fire and Rescue station tours and exhibits, first responders demonstrated an auto extraction, in which a passenger, trapped in a crashed car, is cut free, removed and transported to the hospital.  Thanks to all who came out to support your volunteer fire and rescue personnel.
