Every year in October we recognize fire prevention week by visiting schools and organizations as well as holding classroom and station tour sessions at our fire house.

We also hold our annual open house to coincide with this week. We encourage all community organizations and citizens to get involved with us during this time as well as throughout the year to learn and practice fire safety in their homes and businesses.

The station tour includes a short video on fire prevention and safety, hands on tour of the facility, apparatus, and equipment and if weather permits, we will set up the truck and let you flow water with the hoses.
These tours usually take 45-60 minutes if the class size averages 25-30 people participating.
If you would like for us to visit you, we will bring a short video (approx.
15 min.), followed by a brief question & answer session, and time and weather permitting; the group can participate in a hands on session with the fire gear and apparatus.
We can also customize a presentation for your group based on your request (Contact us for more information).
We also offer fire extinguisher training to your group or organization.
Our trained staff can also work with you on developing home escape plans and we can visit with you in your home, free of charge, to work with you and your family on home inspections. We are not code enforcement and we do not offer inspections for this purpose. We offer home inspections as a way to suggest how to keep your home free of hazards and to develop and maintain a safe environment for you and your family.
