Public Education Information or CPR Request Forms

The Public Education Division is responsible for education of fire and life safety to citizens in Carmel and Clay Township schools, businesses, and community organizations.

The Public Education Division has many tools and programs in which to deliver it's message to the public. The members of Public Education put on demonstrations at all grade level schools, senior citizen facilities, community organizations, and tours within our own fire stations.

There are many programs that the Public Education Division manages, here is a list of a few: WARN (Water Awareness in Residential Neighborhoods), CAP (Christmas Assistance Program), Safety Trailer, Survive Alive, Public Safety Day, CPR classes, Juvenile Fire Setter Program, and smoke detector assistance.

The Public Information Officer works in coordination with the Public Education Officer to disseminate information to the video and print media.

The PIO does respond to working fires and special emergency runs to help the on scene Incident Commander release accurate information to the media. The PIO also creates press releases to keep the citizens aware of daily activities of the Carmel Fire Department.

The Public Education Division also handles any special event that the CFD is directly or indirectly involved with.

If you have any questions or inquires, or if you want to schedule a demonstration or talk for a group in the Carmel/Clay community don't hesitate to contact the Public Education Division at the numbers listed above.

Don't forget to check your smoke detector at least once a month, and replace the battery twice a year.
