School Programs
 One
of the reasons the United States has the
worst fire statistics in the world is the
lack of fire safety education in the
classroom. The fire prevention staff at West
Metro Fire-Rescue District is working hard
at developing new fire safety curriculum for
each grade level pre-K through High School.
The curriculum will fit each grade level’s
abilities. Each year there will be
different topics for the kids to learn with
some review. If any teachers or
educators are interested in getting involved
in the department of curriculum, it would be
much appreciated. We want to get more
involved with the schools in our
communities. If you are a teacher or
educator and are interested in getting more
information or want to have input in the
curriculum, you can contact Shelby Wolf,
Fire Inspector at 763.230.7006.
If you are a teacher or educator and would
like to schedule a fire safety presentation
at your school/classroom, contact Shelby
Wolf, Fire Inspector at 763.230.7006.
Or if you have preschoolers that attend any
kind of day care and wish to have a fire
safety program for them, contact Shelby at
the above phone number and we'll schedule a
time to come out to visit.
Station Tours
Public education tours
are available at all three fire stations.
The ideal group size is 6-20 people.
The age range is best from pre-school all
the way up to seniors. Special
accommodations can be made for larger groups
and evening hours. We have a lot of
Cub Scouts, youth groups, cay care providers
and many other different groups come to see
the fire station and all the equipment.
The department can accommodate interested
parties almost any time and also deliver a
presentation on fire education prior to the
tour if you'd like. The tour and the
program will be customized to ensure age
appropriate materials. You are welcome
at any of the three stations.
