Public Education Unit

DeKalb County Fire Rescue's Public Education Unit is proud to offer several fire and life safety programs to the citizens of DeKalb County. Fire safety educators conduct training, provide lectures, and fire safety demonstrations in elementary schools, homeowner associations, businesses, and senior centers—free of charge.

Training sessions address the common causes of fire and fire injuries in the home, as well as how to prevent fires and what to do in case of one. Our programs focus on those most vulnerable to fire—young children and older adults.
