Hinsdale Fire - Hinsdale firefighter/paramedic Michael Lorusso helps Wyland Holmes learn proper fire extinguisher techniques. Hundreds of visitors spent time with police offices and firefighters during the Hinsdale Fire & Police open house Saturday. From visits to the police department's gun range to the chance to watch a fire spread in the burn house, the afternoon was filled with opportunities for children and their parents to learn safety techniques and get to know Hinsdale's first responders.
