CPR/First Aid

Fire Station Tours

Station tours include viewing fire apparatus and equipment, as well as talking to firefighters about their job and learning important fire safety tips. Fire stations remain "in-service" during tours. Fire companies may need to respond to emergencies at any time. If they do, it will be necessary for the tour to end and your group to exit the station. Please complete a Fire Station Tour Request if you would like to schedule a tour.
Visits to Schools and Businesses

Schools and community groups may request a visit at your location. A parking area must be provided where the fire engine/truck can get in and out quickly in the event they may need to respond to an emergency. Please complete a Visit Request form if you would like to schedule a visit.

Fire extinguisher training is available to educate and train the public on how to properly use a fire extinguisher. The training generally includes live demonstrations allowing every individual practical hands on experience. Please submit a Fire Extinquisher Training Request if you are interested.

Car Seat Checks and Installation

In some cases, they may not be able to meet your scheduled time. Click here to request a car seat installation.
Smoke Alarm Installation

A ten-year lithium battery smoke alarm does not need to have its battery changed. Replace smoke alarms that use extended-life, lithium batteries when the alarm “chirps” or fails to respond to periodic testing. The batteries in these units cannot be replaced.
