MCESD8 has currently resumed most classes and attending public education events.
Programs and Services
According to the United States Fire Administration, more than 3,500 Americans die each year in fires and approximately 18,300 are injured. Children and the elderly make up the majority of these deaths and injuries. To combat these statistics and prevent tragedy before it happens, we work in the community to implement fire prevention and life safety education.
The South Montgomery County Fire Department (SMCFD) offers the opportunity for citizens to request fire trucks to visit their events, participate in parades, tour a fire station, request the mobile safety trailer, request SMCFD in a parade, give presentations and safety speeches, and more.

Sparky the Fire Dog
Sparky, often accompanied by his firefighter friends, frequently visits schools and participates in community events to spread fire safety messages.
Sparky is perfect for teaching fire and life safety to children because he communicates with them on their level. Audiences will be delighted when Sparky’s eyes look around, wink and blink; his emergency lights and siren are activated; and he drives his fire truck around the room, carrying on conversations and playing music — all by remote control. Sparky will make your public education and fire safety programs more fun, interactive, and effective.
