Fire truck visits

Pumper truck visits are a great way to educate the public about fire safety and prevention. During the visits, firefighters explain the equipment and tools used to fight fires and respond to all types of emergencies. Firefighters wear their bunker gear and breathing apparatus.

Learn about being fire smart during this fun and interactive session exploring a pumper truck.

Book a pumper truck for a your next event or fundraiser

Pumper truck visits are scheduled for about one hour and only after 1 p.m. Fire crews attending special events, such as truck requests, are on duty; they may be delayed arriving or may have to leave early if there is an emergency.
