Safety Education

Fire Station Tours

Station tours are scheduled by the Brownsburg Fire Territory Administrative staff. This is a wonderful opportunity for citizens to come out and experience a fire station, meet the fire crews and learn about the fire apparatus used by our department. Many scout groups, church groups, day care centers, and other community organizations have taken advantage of this opportunity.

The recommended number of people attending a station tour should be between 5 and 20 and all ages are welcome.

Safety Talks

A fire crew may be available to conduct a safety talk to larger community groups throughout the territory. This opportunity provides public safety information on such topics as: fire safety, water safety, and life safety. The Brownsburg Fire Territory may send crews to schools, organized neighborhood meetings, church groups, daycare centers, and other community meetings.

Some brochures and handouts on injury prevention topics may be provided by the Brownsburg Fire Territory. Safety Talks require a two-week notice and please keep in mind that crews are still in-service and may need to respond to 911 calls.

School or Daycare Visits

Firefighters and a fire truck are available to visit school and daycare facilities. Children can tour inside a fire engine and view a firefighter dressing up in their turnout gear. Age-appropriate fire safety lessons are given, such as what to do when a smoke alarm goes off. Fire safety messages like "Get Low and Go," "Close Before You Doze," and "When To Call 911" are discussed.

Fire safety education presentations can be given to Brownsburg civic groups or organizations with adult audiences. This program is designed to provide information for on-the-job fire safety practices. Topics include evacuation procedures, electrical safety, maintaining exits and stairway clearances, home fire safety, and fire extinguisher training. The presentation is free to any interested civic group. A presentation session can run from thirty minutes to one hour.

If your company or organization needs fire extinguisher training to meet OSHA requirements, please contact a certified fire extinguisher company or safety professional for appropriate training.

You can also visit Fire Equipment Manufacturer's Association, Inc. for online fire extinguisher safety training. They offer a short video, an easy-to-follow online presentation, and a brief quiz to help reinforce what you have learned. This free educational resource is provided by Fire Equipment Manufacture’s Association, Inc.

The Brownsburg Fire Territory is available to participate in community events to promote fire and life safety. Participation may include a presentation by local firefighters and department personnel and/or an interactive fire or life safety booth at community events. Use the form below to schedule your event.
