Community Risk Reduction
The North Ridgeville Fire Department public education programs are designed with the purpose of preventing fires, injuries, and even deaths resulting from fires and accidents. Our Division of Fire Prevention is responsible for overseeing the administration of public education programs geared toward the safety of our community. Our goal is to customize our programs to meet the needs of the age groups of our audience. 

Safetyville and school talks include information about having a fire escape plan, the number to call in an emergency, knowing two ways out of your house, having a family meeting place, kitchen safety, and stop drop and roll. Other fire safety efforts include:

  • Business and Nursing Home Safety Talks
  • Fire Station Tours and Safety Presentation
  • Home Fire Safety Inspections
  • Boy and Girl Scout Badge Requirements
  • North Ridgeville Senior Center Safety Talks
One of our biggest events throughout the year is our annual Safety and Health Fair which is held in collaboration with the North Ridgeville Police Department the first Saturday in October. The event features family-friendly events and vendors that are related to promoting health and safety in the community. If you are in need of any of our public education services, would like to schedule a tour or class, or are a vendor that would like to participate in our annual Safety and Health Fair, please contact the Fire Department at (440) 490-2040.
