Station Tours
Public education tours are available at all three fire stations. The ideal group size is 6-20 people, pre-school age children through adults are welcome.
Special accommodations can be made for larger groups and evening hours. We have a lot of cub scouts, youth groups, day cares and many other different groups that come to see one of the stations and all the equipment. The department can accommodate interested parties almost any time and delivers a prevention education program prior to the tour if you’d like. The tour and the program will be customized to ensure age appropriate materials.
You are welcome at any of the three stations. Contact Joel Nelson, Assistant Chief, to schedule a time or fill out the form below.
