Fire Prevention and Safety Programs
There are many ways to learn more about the Bowling Green Fire Department and fire safety. Below is a list of the different educational activities that the BGFD offers:
Basic Fire Safety Lesson: We will come to your facility and teach students an age-appropriate lesson about fire safety. Additionally, a firefighter can dress in their protective gear for the students, plus they’ll get a first-hand look at the fire truck and its equipment.
Basic Fire Safety Lesson & Tour of Station: This activity is geared toward those that want to visit a fire station. Students will receive an age-appropriate lesson about fire safety, watch a firefighter dress in all their protective gear, take a tour of the fire station and look at fire trucks and its equipment.
Fire Safety Education Program for 3rd Grade Students Called Sound Off!: The Bowling Green Fire Department is proud to offer an engaging and educational Fire Safety Program specifically designed for 3rd grade students called Sound Off. Our team will visit your school to deliver a curriculum that teaches essential fire safety concepts, including: Recognizing the sound of a smoke alarm, identifying fire hazards in the home, and creating and practicing a home fire escape plan.
The program is 4 days total. The curriculum is delivered over three days, with interactive 20-minute lessons designed to keep students engaged through hands-on learning and participation alongside the Home Fire Safety Patrol! On the fourth day, students are rewarded for completing the program with a special pizza party with the firefighters! Along with a live demonstration from Millie the Fire Dog, making fire safety both fun and memorable.

Accelerant Detection Canine: We can bring our Accelerant Detection Canine to your school to demonstrate how she and her handler find accelerants at a fire scene. We can also discuss the various careers in the fire service, as well as touch on fire safety. This works especially well for older elementary through high school students.
