Fire Prevention
The Fire Department strives to reduce the risk of fire; thus protecting lives, welfare, and economic vitality of our community. We accomplish this through public fire safety education in the community, fire safety education in schools, fire extinguisher classes, fire investigations, and fire safety checks(upon request). The Fire Department installs free smoke detectors for our local residents to combat fire and deaths due to fire through the MO State Fire Marshal's Office smoke detector program.
