Knowing how to use a fire extinguisher could someday save a life.
The department
has several propane fire burn pans that allow participants
to actually learn how to use an extinguisher through
practical use. After a short classroom training session
and video tape, participants adjourn to an outside
location where they are taught, under supervision
of trained fire prevention personnel, how to correctly
use these life saving devices.
If you are a business owner you are required to provide annual training which the department can provide. While no fee is charged, donations are accepted. The requesting agency or person is required to provide all extinguishers. The department can assist you in getting them refilled.
Fire Station One is now a drop off point for residential fire extinguisher service. Call for information at 763-786-4436. Extinguishers will be serviced the second Wednesday of each month.
