Community Relations
The Hebron Fire Protection District frequently participates in community events around Hebron, and performs many school visits to classrooms of all ages. While at a community event, the crew is always available to be dispatched for a 911 call, and they are still responsible for all of their other daily duties. For this reason, our crews are usually unable to attend events for longer than 60 - 90 minutes.
To inquire about the Hebron Fire Protection District attending a community event, please contact Adam McElhaney at AMcElhaney@hebronfire.org

​
​Fire extinguisher training for businesses is handled separately, and is provided free of charge by the Hebron Fire Protection District. There is no certification issued for fire extinguisher training. Our firefighters will bring a propane-powered fire extinguisher prop that produces a real flame that students must extinguish using our provided extinguishers. For this reason, the hands-on portion of the class must be conducted outdoors, and there cannot be inclement weather. We can accommodate a maximum of 25 students per class. Classes are scheduled on either a Thursday or Friday, beginning at either 9:30 AM or 1:30 PM.

Fire Prevention
Smoke Detectors​
​
A properly maintained smoke alarm will work forever, right? Not so fast!
IT’S A FACT: All hardwired or battery-operated smoke alarms installed before 2015 should be replaced now!
A smoke alarm’s lifespan is 10 years, which means any smoke alarm installed before 2015 is too old, and needs to be replaced. The smoke alarm is no longer reliable. Part of smoke alarm maintenance includes knowing when to replace the unit. The few minutes it takes to replace a smoke alarm can save the lives of roommates, family members, neighbors and firefighters.
More than 3,000 people die in home fires each year, and the majority of them have no working smoke alarms. To prevent these deaths, the United States Fire Administration (USFA) is sponsoring the nationwide Install. Inspect. Protect. Campaign, which emphasizes that “Smoke Alarms Save Lives.”
The USFA offers a few helpful tips on smoke alarms:
-
Every residence, and place where people sleep, should be equipped with both ionization and photoelectric smoke alarms or dual sensor smoke alarms, which contain both ionization and photoelectric smoke sensors.
-
Place properly installed and maintained smoke alarms both inside and outside of sleeping areas and on every level of your home.
Interconnected smoke alarms are best, because if one sounds, they all sound. -
Test smoke alarms monthly and change alkaline batteries at least once every year, or as instructed by the manufacturer. You can use a date you already know, like your birthday or when you change your clocks as a reminder.
-
Write the installation date on the inside cover of the smoke alarm for future reference.
Homeowners, landlords and renters should check to verify exactly when each smoke alarm in the home was installed. If any smoke alarm was installed before 2015, now is the time to have it replaced.​
​
Smoke Detector Summary
​
-
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas.
​​
-
Test smoke alarms every month. If they’re not working, change the batteries.
​​
-
Talk with all family members about a fire escape plan and practice the plan twice a year.
​​
-
If a fire occurs in your home, GET OUT, STAY OUT and CALL FOR HELP. Never go back inside for anything or anyone.

Residential Fire Sprinklers
​
You see fire sprinklers in public places and businesses all of the time but have you ever thought of putting them in your house. Fire kills more people in the United States than all natural disasters combined and 80% of the fire fatalities occur in the home. Sprinklers typically reduce chances of dying in a fire and the average property loss by one-half to two-thirds compared to where sprinklers are not present.
​
Fire Extinguishers
​
Did you know that if a fire starts in your home, you may have as little as two minutes to escape? With modern building materials, fires double in size every minute they go un-extinguished. During a fire, early warning from a working smoke alarm, plus a fire escape plan that has been practiced regularly, can save lives! Please view the following infographic for more information about fire extinguishers.
