Fire / Community Engagement
Station Tours
We offer station tours to anyone in our community wanting to get an inside look at the life of a firefighter!
Smoke Alarm Drive
By analyzing run data and partnering with American Red Cross, we are able to target high need areas of our community and host Smoke Alarm Drives ensuring our community has access to smoke alarms.
Community Block Parties
We love interacting with our community through block parties and special events such as BGFiestaval, Mightiest Heros Community Block Party, Pedigo Park Block Party and more.
Firehouse Festival
Each year we host our Firehouse Festival where we invite the community to come out and interact with members of the BGFD! We provide everything from safety demonstrations to hands on experiences such as bucket rides and hose spray! It’s an annual event you don’t want to miss!
Harvest Festival
Harvest Festival is a City of Bowling Green event where we take advantage of being able to set up a fire safety demonstration on “Get Low and GO”
Water Nights
Curbside ministries hosts “Water nights” for different areas of the Bowling Green Community.
Sound Off
Sound Off targets city schools in high emergency response areas. These targeted schools participate in a specialized curriculum for 3rd graders. The curriculum includes sounds of the smoke alarm, detecting dangers in the house hold, and home fire escape planning.
Community Center Programs
With programs like Boys to Men, the Foundry, and Parker Bennett Community Center’s Go For Greatness, we have the opportunity to provide mentorship and leadership to these different groups.
