Fire Programs
Fire Prevention Week
Fire Prevention Week was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire, the tragic 1871 conflagration that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned
more than 2,000 acres. The fire began on October 8, but continued into and did most of its damage on October 9, 1871.
During the month of October, St. John Parish Fire Rescue visits the local schools and day cares to teach the fire prevention message. This message is designed for each age group so we can ensure that we are teaching fire safety in the most effective way possible.
If you are interested in having us provide a fire safety talk to your classes or groups please contact us using our contact page, we would be happy to provide the message.
Smoke Alarms
We install smoke alarms, for free! It is our way of giving back to the
community to provide your family with smoke alarms. Please call the
office at 985-359-0440 to fill out a form to get yours.
Station Tours
Our house is your house!
All St. John Parish Fire Stations are open for free tours. There will be an opportunity to meet the firefighters and check out the fire engines, units, and other equipment around the station. The tours involve seeing where the firefighters sleep, workout, train, and more.
To schedule a tour, contact our main office Monday-Friday between 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. at 985-359-0440 or email your request to reporting@sjbpfire.com.
