The City of Hurst’s Fire Prevention and Fire Education Programs are directed by the Fire Marshal’s Office. The Fire Marshal and Fire Inspector staff the Fire Prevention and Education Division. With the help of Operations personnel, these programs are completed annually.

Fire Education

Fire Prevention and Operations personnel teach Fire Safety to over 4000 students each year. The Fire Safety Program for schools consists of classroom presentations dealing with Fire Safety, as well as demonstrations outside of the classroom. After these presentations, students are challenged to create Fire Safety Posters based on the material they have been taught in these presentations. The posters from all 6 Hurst Elementary campuses are entered into the Fire Safety Poster contest. At the end of the Fire Safety Poster Contest, awards are given to 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd place posters for each grade. 

Fire Department Open House

Every year, the Fire Department invites the community to attend our Open House. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet the firefighters that serve their community, take a close-up look at firefighting equipment, and attend rescue demonstrations. We invite local businesses and affiliated organizations to provide information for Hurst Citizens. Open House is normally held in late September. This year it will be held at Fire Station #1, 2100 Precinct Line Rd on Saturday, September 28th from 10 AM to 2 PM. 

Fire Prevention Education

We also teach in-service fire safety programs such as the use of portable fire extinguishers, evacuation plans, senior citizens programs and more.
