The Orient Fire Department hosted its Fourth Annual Open House Saturday night, featuring barbecue, live music, and a fire department exhibition.

The event drew dozens from Orient with hot dogs, hamburgers and kielbasa, as well as live accompaniment from Long Island country and classic rock band Southbound. Firefighters also demonstrated on the fire department’s back lawn how they free trapped victims from car accidents by cutting away the doors of a dummy car.
