Fire Station Tours |
|
Come in and
visit us
for a tour of your neighborhood fire station!! |
 |
Station tours are available upon request. Tours can
last from 20 minutes to an hour depending on the group. They usually
include a look at the fire engine, firefighting equipment, fire gear,
emergency medical equipment, living quarters and information
concerning fire safety.
How to set up a tour:
-
Tours are scheduled between the hours of 9:30 am to
11:30 am and 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm Sunday through Saturday.
-
Tours need to be scheduled at least fourteen days in
advance.
-
Groups should be no larger than 25 persons, including
children and adults. We request one adult chaperone for every five
children.
-
Fire crews remain available for calls during tours.
This means that they may have to respond to a call during the tour.
If this should happen, the tour may need to be canceled, but can be
re-scheduled.
-
Birthday party groups can tour stations, but due to
the nature of a working fire station we are unable to accommodate
actual birthday parties.
Please call the Fire Chief’s office at 636-949-3253 to
schedule your personal tour.
