The presentation wraps-up with a tour of the fire engine and spraying our fire hose! We will leave activity bags for each student to take home, which includes fire safety activities. Many times crews will surprise kids and serve lunch to interact with the students.

Firefighter Visits:  Our firefighters can participate in a variety of events going on within the community.

Fire Station tours are offered at all our fire stations. Appointments are preferred. Participants are led through the stations to see where the firefighter’s live for their 24-hour shift.

Equipment and apparatus tours are presented to an audience at events, schools, or fire stations throughout the District. Children have a chance to become acquainted with the apparatus, fire hose, medicine, and tools. Everyone will have the opportunity to ask the firefighters questions.
