Community Programs and Birthday Parties
Community Programs
The Fort Washington Fire Company is available to participate in your community activity at no cost. In the past these community activities have included fairs, township programs, and block parties.
Two to seven firefighters will arrive in a fire truck. We allow the
kids and adults to sit in the fire truck, observe our tools and equipment,
operate a functioning fire hose, and try on fire fighting gear. We can
set up a table containing a variety of fire safety literature and fun
items and can provide a program on fire safety. We always love to receive
questions from the public. Adults, as well as the kids always
leave with more knowledge as well as having a great time.
There is no cost to have the Fort Washington Fire Company appear at your event. However, as we are a all volunteer fire company, we would like at least two weeks advance notice.
If you are interested in any of our

Birthday Parties
The Fort Washington Fire Company is available to participate in your child's birthday party at no cost. We can go to your house, or you can come to one of our fire stations. However due to problems in the past, we do not allow any food in the fire house.
If you want us to come to your house, two to seven firefighters will arrive
in a fire truck. We allow the kids and adults to sit in the fire
truck, observe our tools and equipment, operate a functioning fire hose, and
try on fire fighting gear. We have special child size turnout gear
that we allow the birthday child to wear. We will provide a goodie bag
to each child containing a variety of fire safety literature and fun items. Adults, as
well as the kids always receive more knowledge as well as having a great
time.
If you should choose to visit our fire station we will provide a tour of our fire station and all of the trucks at that station, as well as all of the above activities.
