Educating our community on how to prevent and respond to emergencies is part of the Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department’s core mission.
Online Resources
The National Fire Prevention Association provides safety tips on their website for a variety of topics including smoke alarms, escape planning, seasonal fire hazards and more.
Community Presentations and Fire Station Visits
Every year, our volunteer firefighters, EMTs and administrative members provide fire and life safety presentations for local schools, places of worship, scout groups, and other community organizations. If your group would like to visit the Falls Church Fire Station or request our personnel to give a presentation at your event, please contact us.
