Station Tours

This is a great way to meet your local firefighters as well as learn how a fire station operates. Any community group or individual is welcome to arrange a tour of the North Riverside Fire Station. The tour will focus primarily on the observation of the fire station's living quarters and fire engines. Guests will also be introduced to the many types of firefighting and rescue equipment that are carried on a modern-day fire truck. In addition to viewing the station, fire prevention and safety tips will also be discussed.
