Community Outreach

The Fire Rescue Division, in its continued efforts to serve the residents of Grovetown, is involved in several community outreach programs. These programs educate and assist age groups from young children to senior citizens in fire prevention and safety topics.
 

Programs for Children

Station Tours: A guided tour of all station areas and equipment with a firefighter. Children will be shown all the apparatus and equipment on them. They will also be allowed to get into a fire truck for a hands-on experience.

Birthday Parties: An area in an apparatus bay will be provided along with tables and chairs for your party. A station tour will be provided after the party.

Request the Fire Safety House: This program is designed for children in grades 1 through 4. The Fire Safety House is a 32-foot mobile classroom that teaches children about fire safety in the home. Children will learn how to react in a non-toxic smoke while inside the house to be prepared for a fire in their own homes. Minimum group size is 20 students.
