We accomplish this by providing educational programs in numerous schools, daycare facilities, and civic organizations throughout the district. The educational services that we provide and can be requested on this website are Fire Safety Education, CPR Classes, Car Seat Installations, and Firehouse tours.
Fire Inspections:
BFPD also maintains a regular schedule of inspections of occupancies in the district. This aids with fire code compliance, incident pre-planning, crew familiarization, and hazard identification. Along with this if your occupancy is interested we utilize KNOXBOX which allows easier access for the fire department into occupancies when needed. We also provide occupancy loads as requested.

You may also see your firefighters out doing hydrants maintenance and testing. This is an annual effort to make sure an adequate water supply is ready when needed. as needed
