Fire Department Honor Guard 

We can provide ceremonial assistance for your event. Contact Senior Firefighter David Carter for more information or to request the Fire Department Honor Guard at dcarter@chattanooga.gov.

 

Free Smoke Alarms 

The Fire Department teams up with the American Red Cross to distribute free smoke alarms in at-risk neighborhoods.

Fire Safety House Visit 

The Fire Prevention Bureau teaches children how to protect themselves in the event of a fire using the Fire Safety House and Sparky. 

If you're interested in having the Fire Safety House visit your school or venue, please download the Fire Safety House Teacher's Packet. It has all the info you need to set up and run a successful fire safety presentation, then fill in a request form and mail it to us or fax it to (423) 643-5611.

 

Free Blood Pressure Checks

Our firefighters offer free blood pressure checks at all of our fire stations. Just stop by your neighborhood Chattanooga Fire Station during the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. any day of the week. 

 

Community Room

Station 1 on E. Main Street has a Community Room that can be used by citizens for community meetings and other events. You can call Martha Hutchison at (423) 643-5618 to find out how to reserve the room. 

Campaigns and Organizations

Fill-the-Boot Campaign

Chattanooga firefighters raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) through the annual Fill-the-Boot Campaign. 

Forgotten Child Fund

Did You Know?

Did you know that our firefighters hand out stuffed animals to children involved in fires and car wrecks? It's a small gesture, but the stuffed animals help the children cope with one of the most traumatic experiences of their young lives.

Did you know that our firefighters provide 'After the Fire' brochures to fire victims? These brochures provide useful information on what to do after the fire, such as what information to gather for insurance purposes, how to clean up salvageable belongings, and how to replace lost documents.

Did you know that our fire stations keep their bay doors open whenever possible to present a friendly face to the community? We want you to know that we're there when you need us and that we appreciate your support!
