The Berea Fire Department reaches out to the community in a variety of ways to educate the public in fire safety and other safety issues.  The Fire Department is highly involved with the school systems, local businesses, industries, health care facilities and day cares.  With the school systems and day cares they provide presentations in the school/ daycare or at the station.

These presentations depending on age include: don’t be scared of a firefighter in gear, if your clothes catch on fire, escape plans, candle safety, cooking fires, and overall fire awareness.  At local businesses, industries and health care facilities, upon request, this department provides fire extinguisher classes and assistance with escape and evacuation plans.

The Fire Department also offers services for residential structures, upon request, such as a home safety survey or assisting with the installation of smoke detectors.
