The Mountain View Fire Department has a long and proud tradition of providing quality education and training services to the community. Our goal is to increase the level of fire prevention and life safety through a curriculum based, proactive Public Education Program, including:
- Fire Safety for the Home and Business
- Fire Safety and evacuation drills for primary school age children
- Citywide community events
- Community Emergency Response Team Training
- Fire Extinguisher Training for Businesses
- Public Education Requests
Request public education programs or presentations by contacting the Mountain View Fire Department at (650) 903-6102.
School Program
This program consists of the delivery of annual presentations to the six primary schools in Mountain View. This program targets kindergarten through second grade children who benefit from a basic fire prevention/safety message. The City primary schools include:
- Bubb School
- Castro School
- Landels School
- Huff School
- Monta Loma
- Theuerkauf
In keeping with our curriculum-based and age-appropriate philosophy, however, we do not make on site presentations to preschools for children under 4 years old. The Department will however assist preschools in their fire prevention efforts by offering media resources and handouts for younger children.
Fire Station Tours
- Families and small groups are encouraged to drop by any fire station for a tour on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. Please be understanding if you arrive and the crew is not at the station as they may be responding to a call.
- Organized youth and civic groups may request tours by calling (650) 903-6102.
Neighborhood Events
City neighborhood groups may request a fire company for a static display and fire prevention handouts at neighborhood functions. Contact the Public Education Specialist for coordinate your request (650) 903-6102.
