DEKALB FIRE DEPARTMENT | DEKALB FIRE DEPARTMENT

Full time fire department that is staffed all year around. Besides responding to emergency requests, the department is committed to fire prevention measures through three strategies:

- Fire safety education for children, young adults, and senior citizens through a fire station visit or site visit. Fire safety education includes safe cooking, escaping the home during a fire, and general fire safety in the home. Senior citizen safety education includes fall prevention and how to contact 911.

- The Juvenile Firesetter Program is a voluntary 4-step education program for children 4-18 years old who exhibit signs of fire setting behavior.

- The Fire Department supports citizens who need assistance with smoke detector maintenance and will install smoke detectors in the home, if requested.
