The Cottonwood Fire Department, in conjunction with other Fire Departments in the area, provide education in our area schools via innovative Spring and Fall programs. Additionally, our Fire Prevention Office will assist in providing safety curricula such as "Learn Not to Burn" and "Risk Watch" to our community schools. The fire prevention and safety lessons we learn at a young age have proven effective in protecting the young population at risk of losing their lives or being injured by fire. The very young are not the only population at risk. Statistics show that fire and fall deaths increase greatly as we age. We provided educational programs geared specifically to the Senior members of our community. Please call our office to schedule a presentation at your facility. You may also contact us to schedule a station tour for your class.
