Programs to help the public prevent fires and protect themselves from the potential life and property risks are conducted by Fire Prevention Division staff or other firefighters with support from the Fire Prevention Division. The majority of these programs are aimed at elementary and pre-school aged children, to instill good habits at an early age. Other programs focus on fire safety in the workplace, to build on earlier lessons. Call (904) 209-1750 to schedule a fire prevention program or Click Here to Send Us a Request.
