Fire Prevention and Safety Education
The best way to reduce the damages of a fire is to prevent it from ever happening. Fire prevention and life safety education is one way to accomplish this. Organized safety training and classes are performed by the Lake Cities Fire Department each year to the Lake Dallas I.S.D. and Denton I.S.D. Schools, along with all the daycare's, and by request within the Lake Cities Area. Lake Cities Firefighters educates approximately 7,000 children each school year, and performs educational skits with clowns, characters, visual aids, and hands on practice.
The program serves by:
- Engaging and educating preschool, school-aged children, and adults about fire prevention, fire and life safety and the role of firefighters in helping keep them safe.
- Providing integrated, quality teaching resources and opportunities to stay safe.
- Providing specific age-appropriate messages and skills, including meeting the Texas State Fire Marshal’s Office Education Learning Standards.
The Lake Cities Fire Department hosts an annual Open House each October where the communities are encouraged to bring their families and meet their local firefighters and tour the fire station. During the Open House, there are several interactive activities for everyone.
For more information, please see Education & Outreach for Fire Prevention and Safety Education or Kids Corner with Sparky for fun activities.
