Services & Education

Scheduling Non-Emergency Services

The fire department schedules non-emergency services and other activities after 10 a.m. and in available time periods on selected days. This allows firefighters to perform their morning functions of preparing themselves and the fire apparatus and equipment to ensure their readiness in the event of an emergency. Due to the nature of our business, occasionally previously arranged programs are subject to last minute changes, delays, or cancellation. 

While we strive to meet every prearranged program obligation, occasionally interruptions do occur and last minute notification and rescheduling may be necessary.

Please review the FAQs below for answers to many frequently asked questions.
