Seattle Firefighters will be visiting several “Night Out Against Crime” celebrations tonight near neighborhood fire stations. This is the 27th annual celebration here in Seattle which falls on the first Tuesday of every August. Seattle Firefighters will stop by neighborhood gatherings to promote fire safety and awareness.
