Through hands-on training, school visits, station tours, and community events, firefighters and paramedics provide valuable learning opportunities for children, adults, and seniors alike.
Educational outreach includes classroom presentations where fire crews visit schools to discuss fire prevention, the proper use of safety equipment, and step-by-step actions to take in case of an emergency. These interactive sessions not only inform students about necessary safety measures but also enable them to ask questions and gain a deeper understanding of the role of first responders in their community.
