MARQUETTE — Saturday will mark the beginning of Marquette’s 31st Annual Fire Prevention Week with a kick-off parade beginning at 12:30 p.m. on West Washington Street.

Stop by the static display at 11 a.m. on Saturday located on Bluff Street directly behind Washington Street’s Harlow Park in Marquette.

Fire trucks, rescue vehicles and Sparky the Fire Dog will showcase the event. SERVPRO of The Upper Peninsula, a fire and water cleanup and restoration company, will help host the activities. SERVPRO will also give away freebies, cupcakes and two bikes from Lakeshore Bike. Note that since Lakeshore Bike debuted its “Grow With Me” program, winners gifted the SERVPRO bike will be able to exchange it for a new bike as they grow.
