School Assemblies

The Tooele City Fire department takes great pride in their involvement throughout the Tooele City area. Firefighters are an available health and safety resource. Each year firefighters conduct many school assemblies for the children in the area. Over 500 hours are spent providing the necessary safety education to our children. We strive to educate the children on the proper steps necessary to stay fire safe. Exit Drills In the Home (EDITH) to crawl under smoke are just a few tips left will the children each year.
