To schedule your station tours please  call 261-2000.  Vistors are always welcome to stop by one of our stations, however times may be limited upon scheduled fire stations activities for the day.

Install smoke detectors and test them monthly to make sure they are in good working order.

Be careful when you cook, and never leave cooking unattended. Central’s number one type of fire are kitchen fires.

Plan a safe escape from fire and practice your escape drill. Make sure everyone in your home knows at least two ways out of every room.

Remember: matches and lighters are tools, not toys. Keep them out of the reach of children

Use electricity safely. Unplug malfunctioning appliances, replace frayed or cracked electrical cords, and don’t run cords under rugs or across walkways. Most importantly, never use electric appliances in or near water.

Crawl low in smoke. During a fire, smoke and poisonous gases rise with the heat. Cleaner, safer air is near the floor.

Remember: Stop, Drop and Roll. If your clothes catch on fire, don’t run. Stop where you are, drop to the ground, cover your face, and roll over and over to smother the flames.

When the smoke detector sounds or fire strikes, leave the building immediately. Do NOT go back in. Follow your escape plan and call 9-1-1 for help.

If you are awakened by the smoke detector alarm, get out of bed and crawl low under the smoke. The heat and smoke is intense in a fire; you will not be able to see, and temperatures at the ceiling could reach more than 600 degrees Fahrenheit – enough to kill you immediately.

If your door is closed, feel the door with the palm of your hand. If it is not hot, brace yourself against the door and open it slowly. If there is fire on the other side, close the door and seek another escape route.

If it is safe to leave the room, stay low and get out by the quickest and safest route.
