Is Your Fire Station Protected?

We spend countless hours preparing to protect our communities from fire—but how often do we stop to consider the protection of our own fire stations?

Does your station have working smoke detection, fire alarms, and a fire suppression system? Are those systems regularly tested, inspected, and properly maintained?

Consider what would happen if a fire started in your station. Would it be detected quickly? Would your suppression system help control it? Would your crews know how to respond? And would your apparatus, equipment, records, and other critical resources be protected?

Fire stations are more than buildings. They house the people, apparatus, equipment, and resources our communities depend on when an emergency occurs.

Take a moment to look at your own station. Is it truly protected?
