Community Risk Reduction
Community Risk Reduction involves education and awareness programs and wildfire mitigation activities to increase the safety of our community and protect property. Every October, with assistance from Eagar Fire Department, the United States Forest Service, and Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management we visit the local schools and daycare facilities to teach children about fire safety, life safety, and what to do if there is an emergency.
We also provide emergency planning, and other general fire and life safety education program for health educators, medical and public health professionals, classroom teachers, elder service providers, community and service organizations, parents, caregivers, and anyone else interested in collaborating on fire and life safety education. Keeping our neighborhoods safe is a top priority for Springerville Fire Department, our strategy to reduce emergencies is to focus on prevention by identifying and rectifying unsafe behaviors.
