The Colleyville Fire Department organizes several annual events that serve as valuable opportunities to engage with the community, raise awareness about fire safety, and foster a sense of unity and support.

 

Open House: Hosting an annual open house allows the fire department to welcome members of the community into their facilities, providing them with an inside look at the operations of the department and an opportunity to meet and interact with firefighters and emergency personnel. The open house includes station tours, equipment demonstrations, interactive displays, and educational sessions on fire safety and emergency preparedness.

 

Community CPR/AED Training: To empower residents with life-saving skills, the fire department organizes CPR/AED training opportunities. This provides community members with the opportunity to receive hands-on instruction in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques and the use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) from certified instructors. By offering free or low-cost training sessions, the fire department helps to increase the number of individuals who are prepared to respond effectively in medical emergencies, potentially saving lives in the community.

 

Kid’s Fire Camp: The Colleyville Fire Department's annual Kids Fire Camp, designed for children aged 9-13, offers an immersive and educational experience focused on fire safety and emergency preparedness. Through hands-on activities, interactive workshops, and fire safety drills, participants learn essential skills such as creating home escape plans, using firefighting equipment, and understanding the role of firefighters in the community. The event also provides opportunities for children to meet and interact with firefighters, fostering positive relationships and instilling confidence in their ability to respond effectively in emergencies. By equipping children with valuable knowledge and resources, the Kids Fire Camp empowers them to become proactive advocates for fire safety within their families and communities, ultimately contributing to a safer and more resilient society.

 

Citizens Fire Academy: The Colleyville Fire Department's Citizens Fire Academy is a one-day immersive program offering adults a firsthand glimpse into firefighting operations and emergency response. Led by experienced firefighters, participants engage in hands-on activities and educational sessions covering fire prevention, emergency medical services, and more. Through this event, attendees gain practical skills and knowledge to enhance safety in their communities while fostering greater appreciation for the department's dedication and professionalism.

 

Jingle All the Way: The Colleyville Fire Department's "Jingle All the Way Through Colleyville" brings holiday cheer to neighborhoods across the city as a fire engine adorned with sparkling Christmas lights travels through the streets. This festive event spreads joy and goodwill as residents gather to watch the dazzling spectacle and interact with firefighters spreading holiday cheer. The decorated fire engine serves as a symbol of community spirit and gratitude, bringing smiles to faces young and old as it winds its way through the neighborhoods, spreading the magic of the holiday season throughout Colleyville.

 

These annual events not only promote fire safety and emergency preparedness but also strengthen the bond between the Colleyville Fire Department and the community it serves.
