Community risk reduction programs are a vital part of the community’s success. At West Pierce Fire & Rescue, the Prevention Division focuses on a variety of fire and injury prevention programs. This type of education provides families with the knowledge to make educated choices about fire and life safety risks. The most successful community risk reduction programs at WPFR are those taught in Lakewood, University Place and Steilacoom schools.

Please visit our School Programs page, which has safety lessons and videos for Kindergarten through 5th grade.
