The Fire Department's Office of Fire and Life Safety provides information to the public about fire and injury prevention and the general operations of the Baltimore County Fire Service.
The Office of Safety Education uses a variety of tools to educate county citizens about fire safety and injury prevention:
Each year, safety educators speak to hundreds of county residents about everything from how to install a smoke alarm to how older people can reduce the risk of falling. The Office of Fire and Life Safety offers programs for children, teens and adults that provide up-to-date, easy-to-understand instruction about common fire safety and injury prevention issues.
Together with the Police and Health departments, fire personnel also provide information about how to install child safety seats in vehicles.
Call 410-887-4876 to schedule a program or to request a public educator for your community event. PLEASE NOTE: There is heavy demand for Fire Department programs. Please schedule your request at least a month in advance.
For additional information about fire safety and injury prevention, visit the National Fire Protection Association, the U.S. Fire Administration, the Burn Prevention Foundation and the National Safety Council.
