We want to teach our community about fire safety and offer a wide range of fire safety and education curriculum. Classes are tailored to meet the specific needs of your audience. Curriculum is based on age and topic, ranging from preschool to high school and beyond. Each class is 30 to 60 minutes in length. When planning your event, be sure to give us plenty of time to arrange our schedules to best serve you. Fire safety presentations are conducted by our on-duty crew, so it's possible they will be called to an emergency during your event. For information on topics and to schedule a class, call our training officer.
- Smoke Alarm Installation
- Working smoke alarms save lives. We want to make sure your smoke alarms are working. If the homeowner is a senior citizen or disabled we can assist you with the installation of your smoke alarm. Personnel are available to inspect and install resident purchased smoke alarms in residences within the City of Oak Harbor. Learn more about smoke alarms
- Fire Safety for Students and Young Adults

- Residential Fire Sprinklers
- The most effective fire loss prevention and reduction measure for both life and property is the installation and maintenance of home fire sprinklers.

Learn more about fire sprinklers and why we recommend you have them installed in your home.
