Free fire safety presentations are given at pre-schools, elementary schools, medical facilities, elderly care facilities, service club meetings, public fairs, and other events upon request. "Sparky the Fire Dog" (a furry, six-foot Dalmatian costume worn by one of our personnel) may be available to come to events for children depending on staffing levels for that day. Fire inspectors also conduct hands-on classes in the use of portable fire extinguishers, enabling participants to extinguish a live fire.
