Public Awareness

The Dyersburg Fire Department continuously strives to teach the importance of fire safety.  Fire safety education is not only taught during Fire Prevention week in October,  but throughout the entire year.  Firefighters go to schools in Dyersburg and Dyer County and speak to all ages about the fire service and fire safety. Fire drills are conducted periodically at all city schools in conjunction with Fire Codes Enforcement & Prevention division and the Dyersburg City School System. 

Firefighters also teach fire safety through fire station tours.  A fire station tour is an excellent opportunity for any age to see up close what the Dyersburg Fire Department is about. 

We also conduct home fire safety inspections, i.e. proper smoke detector installation and targeting fire hazards in the home. The fire department is an active participant in the annual Quad County Career Fair and recently participated in the first annual Green Village Health Fair. Fire extinguisher classes can be arranged by calling fire headquarters.
