Our Program

​The most important function of any Fire Department is prevention.  Through education and inspections, we hope to prevent/reduce the occurrence of situations that produce injury, death, and destruction of property or negatively impact our environment.

​

The department has been teaching the S.A.F.E. (Student Awareness of Fire Education) Program since 1996.  This program is a cooperative effort between firefighters, school principals, teachers, and students.  Our S.A.F.E. Program puts trained firefighter-educators in the classroom to conduct fire safety education programs in grades Pre-K through 6th grade.  Our firefighters are in the regional elementary school 5 times during each school year teaching students to recognize the dangers of fire, how to prevent it and how to escape from it.  We also teach life safety lessons such as the dangers of using tobacco, holiday safety and winter ice safety.  The program was originally developed and funded through a state grant.  It has been expanded to include presentations to senior citizens, daycare centers and other civic groups.  We hope the program continues to be as successful in the future as it is today.
