Public Education

Public education is the process of changing people's attitudes and behavior related to safety. Most fires and injuries can be prevented with changed behavior.

Public education seeks to change a person's attitude about his or her personal safety and wellness, resulting in changed behavior. We use many methods to achieve our goal, including presentations at schools, daycares, community events such as Fire Department Open House, news stories, and public service announcements.

The Coppell Fire Department provides information and resources to the public to prevent not only fires, but also to reduce or prevent injuries and death from causes unrelated to fire. Each year our firefighters are dispatched to more emergency medical services calls for unintentional injuries than for actual fire-related emergencies.

Public Education is not just limited to fire and injury prevention and safety. The Emergency Management Division can also provide citizens and business assistance on preparing themselves and their family or employees on how to recognize an impending natural hazard and the steps to take to protect themselves and those around them.

The Coppell Fire Department provides resources, planning services, and information for citizens, schools, businesses, and community groups. The Coppell Fire Department also provides in-house fire extinguisher training and evacuation plan reviews.
