The Addison Fire Prevention and Public Education Bureau is tasked with working with the Community to provide and promote health and safety. Fire prevention activities include conducting construction plan reviews, fire inspections, fire drills, and working closely with the Village of Addison in enforcing fire and building codes. The Public Education Division is responsible for communicating health and safety training through a community risk reduction model that includes but is not limited to, schools, community organizations, community events, and block parties. Many different programs are conducted throughout the year including CPR & first aid classes, annual open house & health and safety fair, several different school programs, and fire extinguisher classes just to name a few.

The Fire Marshal leads the Fire Prevention and Public Education Bureau, which supervises bureau staff to include inspection services, community outreach efforts, community education and prevention programs, and other community risk reduction efforts. Alongside our full-time personnel, many of our firefighters/paramedics commit time to leading and instructing programs within the bureau.

The Fire Prevention Bureau and Public Education Division are located within the headquarters fire station at 10 South Addison Road and are open during normal business hours between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm.
