Urbana Fire Prevention & Education Events
Children's Fire Muster: Held in the summer usually in late July at Meadowbrook Park in Urbana. Children should be prepared to get wet. Activities include a waterball contest, hosing a simulated fire, and sliding down a fire pole. Children will receive a participation ribbon. Fire equipment will be on hand to look at. This is a great opportunity to come out and meet your local firefighters.
Home Fire Life Safety: Fire Companies go door to door checking smoke detectors and offer free detectors or batteries for those that need them.
Safety Fair at the Square: Week of activities and plays at Lincoln Square Mall.
Fire Prevention Week: Week of activities and plays at Lincoln Square Mall.
Community Nights: A partnership with the Urbana Park District. The park district hosts a concert in every park in the city.
