The Pecan Grove VFD Community Relations Division is responsible for public education on fire safety issues. They offer fire station tours and public appearance of apparatus at special events.
The request must be submitted at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. If interested in scheduling an event, please read the below options and fill out the Community Relations Appearance Request form with the details of your event. Once the request is received by the Community Relations Committee, one of our representatives will contact you to schedule your event.
​
Station Tours
Tours must be scheduled a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the event to allow stations to plan events and training. No station tours will be conducted on Tuesday nights as those nights are designated for departmental training. Tours will consist of a safety discussion by a firefighter, a quick tour of the station, and a look at the fire apparatus. Tours can last for a half hour, depending on the size of your group. Please remember during this time the crews are in service which means they will need to leave should an emergency call come in.
​
Public Appearances
Fire Department apparatus can come to approved schools, churches and public events. Firefighters are available to teach fire safety issues and talk about rewarding careers in the Fire and Emergency Medical Service. Please remember that the engine could be late or not show up as they may be on an emergency call. ​​
​
Schools
With October being national fire safety month, this is when we typically schedule visits to elementary schools. The fire crews will give educational presentations and demonstrate the apparatus until all classes have gone through. These events are scheduled on a first come, first serve basis. Please submit your school's request as soon as possible.
​
Please understand that we are a working fire department. There will be times that we may not be able to attend your scheduled function or have to leave early due to an emergency. We hope you understand and want to thank you for your continued support.
