Public Education
Education is a primary goal within our City vision and fire prevention education is no exception. The Fire Prevention Bureau coordinates most of the education efforts.
They speak to both the residential and business communities. Our message to the community is extended primarily through schools, neighborhood association meetings, and public events. We serve our businesses by offering site-specific presentations for their employees in their efforts to maintain effective fire safety programs.
