Request a Station Tour, Community Event, Training or Presentation

Eastside Fire & Rescue provides a variety of community services and educational programs to the communities we serve. Presentations and trainings can be tailored to the size and age of the audience or any specific educational goals you may have.

  • All requests must be scheduled two weeks in advance. This allows us a greater opportunity to accommodate the date and time of your request. 
  • Once scheduled, the tour/event/presentation may be interrupted. The crews and apparatus must remain in service to respond to emergency calls that come in prior to or during the event resulting in them arriving later than scheduled, needing to leave early, or not being able to attend at all.
  • A confirmation email will be sent, please check spam/junk mail if not received.

Station Tours

  • Station Tours are scheduled Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
  • No more than 25 people (or one class) per visit – This includes adults and children.
  • We request 1 adult per 5 children to provide supervision.
  • The recommended age for station visits is 5 and up.
  • We do not host birthday parties at fire stations.

**Disclaimer: Emergency response is our primary responsibility and crews will remain in service during station tours. In the event of an emergency, firefighters may be delayed or unable to attend without notice. Station tours cancelled due to emergency response will be rescheduled.
