General Information
Welcome to the Public Education section of the Fitchburg Fire Department’s web site. There are many different aspects to public education, although we may not cover them all at the moment, we will strive to provide you with the best, most accurate and up to date information possible. We are confident that these pages will re-enforce what you already know, and will bring new thoughts and safety ideas to you and your family.
Education is extremely important to the Fitchburg Fire Department because through education we prevent fires, tragedies, and save lives. We take Public Education very seriously and feel that it is just as important for an adult as it is for a child. Our Public Education Division is very involved with the businesses in the community, with the schools, and other community groups.
It is our hope that we have all of the information that you are looking for, if we do not, please let us know so we may assist you in finding the information. We are very interested in what you, our community, would like to know about fire safety and the types of programs that you would like to see offered to the community.
