Prevention and Education

Kids enjoying themselves at the “Saturday at the Firehouse” 

The fire prevention division is tasked with the prevention of fire and other dangerous activities that lead to fire and the determination of cause and origin of fires through fire investigations.  The fire prevention division also insures enforcement of state and local building and fire code, review of new developments and construction, fire investigations, and fire safety inspections.  We currently have three cause and origin fire investigators, one on each shift.  The public education division provides fire safety education through many different mediums including street fairs, health fairs, school assemblies, newsletters and articles and our award-winning “Saturday At The Firehouse."  Our newest feature to our public education division is the addition of our Americorp VISTA position.  This position provides community outreach, predominately to the elderly and Latino community.
