 Pre-School

Pre School classes are offered upon request to the community to introduce children to basic fire safety skills.

 Elementary School

Fire Prevention Month — October — is our busiest month in terms of education efforts. We target all kindergarten, first, and second graders in the City elementary schools and focus on Fire Safety Education.

We also offer a "Third Grade Partnership" program. Firefighters are available to partner with a school and teach valuable lessons in fire science, burn injury, controlled and uncontrolled fires, making appropriate decisions, bike safety, and the many roles of the Fire Department in the community.

 High School

High School students are given the opportunity to meet with firefighters one on one to find out about career opportunities in the fire service during career fairs. (Available upon request)
