Fire Prevention Education

Fire Prevention is Our Goal

The Universal City Fire Department strives to prevent all types of fires, and our goal is simply to have NO fires in our city. In order to accomplish this, we provide Fire Prevention and Education throughout the year. In October of each year, we hold an Open House and also provide demonstrations to local churches and schools. 

In 2024 we visited four elementary schools and reached 2800 students. We visited a daycare facility and visited with 150 toddlers. Another 150 children were reached in four station tours. 

We also provide fire safety lectures for local Boy and Girl Scout Troops. All education and demonstrations are age appropriate and dependent on the size of the group. 

Smoke Detector Program  Is a Home Fire Safety Check and Smoke Detector inspection program available to our residents.

To schedule a fire prevention demonstration, lecture or tour call  the Fire Department office 210-659-0333 ext. 785 NFPA 2024 fire prevention

Teach Your Child Fire Survival Skills

Common childhood experiences can often depict fire as celebratory and fun. Candles on a birthday cake or holiday fireworks are good examples. Kids can become naturally curious about fire and are not able to understand its danger.  So, we have to teach them just how dangerous a fire situation can be. 

 They must be aware not just in their own home, but those of family and friends as well. Click the link for an educational video to help your children learn important safety skills. Sparky School House
