Public Education & Community Activities

Overview

The Fire Prevention Bureau's primary mission is to coordinate a range of programs and activities geared toward both children and adults of all ages throughout the year.

Our goal is to education the public and/or schools through fire safety education and involvement with community groups.

Some of the activities include:

• Hosting our Annual Open House
• Hosting Station Tours
• Fire Safety Talks (Adults and Children)
• Child Safety Seat Inspections
• Blood Pressure Screenings
• Fire Extinguisher Training
• Home Safety Inspections
• Tornado Safety Instructions
• Smoke Detector Evaluations
• Fire Drills
• Block Parties
• Kindergarten Fire Truck Rides

In addition, the Fire Prevention Bureau offers educational programs to our local schools, which cover a large range of subject areas that are taught by a number of different professionals.

We also host fire safety talks for seniors 65 and older at various senior centers. All of these activities and programs give the public a chance to get up close and personal with their local firefighters.
