Station Tours

Have you ever wanted to visit the Fire Station? Well you can! The Firefighters are happy to show you around the Fire Station. We will show you many of the tools and equipment that we use when we do our job. The Firefighters take the time to explain many of the things we do on a daily basis around the Fire Station. While touring the station you will learn important safety information that you can share with your parents. You can even climb up in the big red truck and see what it is like to be a real firefighter.
