Community Programs

Littleton Fire Rescue currently provides fire and injury prevention programs to citizens, community groups, businesses and schools. Classes are taught by line firefighters, division officers or by one of the two life safety educators assigned to life safety education full-time. When presentations are assigned to on-duty fire crews, every effort is made to accommodate the request, but 9-1-1 emergencies are given priority.

Birthday Parties
Due to the nature of our job, we cannot accommodate birthday parties at the fire stations, but groups are invited to schedule a station tour as part of their special day. Crews cannot be scheduled to attend birthday parties at residential homes.

Blood Pressure Screening
Every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, members of the community may stop by any Littleton Fire Station for a free blood pressure check. Tracking cards are provided to participants.

Boy and Girl Scout Education
Scout troops are invited to the fire station for a tour and educational session based on their current badge requirement (Readyman, First-Aid, Respecting Authority), or a crew may be requested to attend a Scout meeting at a public facility (no residences).

A meeting can be arranged to discuss life safety issues regarding a particular business or structure. Assistance is provided to owners/managers in the development of an emergency procedure plan.

Car Seat Check
Car seat checks are free and by appointment only. Please review the car seat manual and the vehicle owner’s manual, and try to install the car seat yourself before your appointment.
