The Statesville Fire Department will bring a Fire Truck to your pre-school and give the children a presentation on truck familiarization, fire safety, what firefighters wear and why, and give out coloring books and many other fun takeaways.

The Statesville Fire Department performs numerous Fire Education programs throughout the year for various age groups and affiliations. Our most structured Fire Education program is directed at the 4th grade students in public and private schools throughout the city. Well over 1,000 students are involved in this program year to year. We meet with each class for 1 hour each month throughout the school year. Some of the topics in our lesson plans include: Stop, Drop, and Roll; E.D.I.T.H (Exit Drills In The Home); Holiday Fire Safety; How to Report an Emergency; Chemistry of Fire.

Did you know if your smoke alarm is older than 10 years, it needs to be replaced? The Statesville Fire Department partners with both The American Red Cross and NC OSFM to offer free smoke and C/O alarms. We will install these alarms and replace batteries in existing alarms free of charge.
