The Sykesville Freedom District Fire Department's Fire Prevention Division is led by Lieutenant Christine Flanagan.  This award-winning, aggressive outreach program is directed at the area's youth and adults alike to spread the message of fire prevention and safety.

Each year, hundreds of area schoolchildren are exposed to the department's fire prevention message with trips to the firehouse. The lessons cater directly to the   specific age group of the audience.

Preschool Children:  Students view a wonderful fire safety Sesame Street Fire Safety program to show the children how to be "Fire Safe"   thru the use of   puppets and “get low and go” stand that the children practice crawling under pretend smoke. (Puppet show is for groups of 20   and larger). Students also   receive a tour of the fire house and the fire engine and ambulance and the equipment we use.

School Age Children/Home School Children:  This age group gets to see above program and also receives more in-depth instruction on fire   prevention subjects such as get low and go, exit drills in the home, 911 and other safety topics. We show the children the actual fire gear worn by the firefighters. 

Senior Fire/Injury Prevention: This is a program where we travel to Senior living facilities to help seniors to become more aware of fire safety and injury prevention in their environment.

Girl Scout and Boy Scout Program: The department is available to host a program to assist troops to obtain first aid and safety badges.
