Can you visit for birthday parties or events?

We love participating in community events when possible! Our firefighters enjoy visiting schools, birthday parties, neighborhood events, and community gatherings to educate the public about fire safety.

Visits are subject to availability and may be cancelled if we receive emergency calls. To request a visit, please contact us at least 3-4 weeks in advance. Include:

  • Event date, time, and location
  • Expected number of attendees
  • Age group (if children)
  • Desired activities (truck viewing, fire safety talk, photos)

There is no charge for community visits, but donations to support our volunteer department are always appreciated.

Check Your Smoke Alarm Placement
Smoke alarms should be installed on every level of your home, inside every bedroom, and outside each sleeping area. Mount them on the ceiling or high on a wall, 6 to 8 inches below the ceiling. Avoid placing them near windows, doors, or ducts where drafts could interfere with their operation.
Plan for Pets in Your Escape Plan
Include your pets in your home fire escape plan. Keep collars and leashes near the door for quick access. Place a pet alert sticker on a front window to let firefighters know how many and what types of pets are inside. If you must evacuate without your pet, tell the firefighters immediately.
