School Programs

Fire safety education is paramount for the Eagle River Fire Protection District. Our programs aim to empower people of all ages with the knowledge and skills to make responsible choices regarding health and safety. Specifically, we prioritize educating young children and older adults, who are most vulnerable to fire incidents. Our commitment lies in equipping kids with the necessary tools for leading safer lives.

Station Tours/Truck Visits

The local fire station serves as a prime hub for spreading awareness about fire prevention and safety within the community. Schools and youth organizations can arrange visits to their nearby firehouse, while community groups can request fire crews to join them at events like farmers markets, parades, and school or community gatherings. It’s advisable to give at least two weeks’ notice for station tours and truck visits, though we strive to fulfill all requests. However, please be aware that apparatus visits are scheduled during engine companies’ active service hours, meaning crews may need to respond to emergency calls even during scheduled visits.
