FIRE STATION TOURS AND PUBLIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS

Station and Public Education Tours
The public (especially children) are invited to visit any one of the six Fire Stations located in the City of Carlsbad. However, due to training and scheduleing needs the best time to visit a Fire Station is on one of the days that we have set aside each month for pre-scheduled tours. These days are the first Tuesday and third Wednesday of every month. If you would like to visit a Fire Station on one of these days please call us during business hours at (760) 931-2141. We will be happy to assist you in making arrangements to visit the Fire Station of your choice.

In addition, as our work schedule permits, we can arrange for visits during other days of the month. Please keep in mind however, that on occasion we may be called out for an emergency and may not be in the station at the pre-arranged time. If we are not in the station we are out helping someone and will get back as soon as possible.

Literature
Each Fire Station in the city has a supply of our Annual Safety Services Report and various other community educational brochures and pamphlets. You can obtain copies of this information by stopping by any Fire Station or calling our Administrative Offices at (760) 931-2141.
