Mother Goose Preschool took over the firehouse today! They checked out the trucks, tools, and the whole station. Cold outside, but lots of laughs inside.

Official report: No fires found, but we did find 20 future firefighters ready for duty. Sirens still work. Boots are still really big.

Thanks for visiting us!

Safety tip of the day: If your smoke alarm is older than your preschooler, it might be time to replace it.

🔋🚒 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK IS IN FULL SWING, JEROME! 🚒🔋
What a week it's been! Your Jerome City Fire crews have had an absolute blast out in schools and at the station talking fire safety with our future firefighters. The high-fives, the questions, the smiles - this is why we love this community.
This year's Fire Prevention Week theme (Oct 4-10) from the NFPA is:
2026 THEME: "Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower."
It's focused on lithium-ion batteries - the ones in your phones, laptops, tablets, power tools, and e-bikes. They make life easier, but if they're damaged or charged wrong, they can overheat and start a fire.
Your Safe Charging Superpowers:
⚡️ Use the right charger - always use the one that came with the device or a manufacturer-approved replacement
⚡️ Don't charge on the couch, bed, or under a pillow - use a hard, flat surface
⚡️ Unplug when fully charged - don't charge overnight
⚡️ Watch for trouble - if a battery is swollen, super hot, smells weird, or changes color, stop using it right away
⚡️ Keep exits clear - never charge e-bikes, scooters or tools near a door
And don't forget the basics that still save lives:
✅ Test smoke alarms monthly
✅ Alarms in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level
✅ Have 2 ways out of every room and practice your escape plan
✅ Close Before You Doze!
LET'S FINISH THE WEEK TOGETHER! 🥞
Join us for a FREE COMMUNITY PANCAKE BREAKFAST!

🔋⚡️ IT'S FIRE PREVENTION WEEK! ⚡️🔋
Jerome, it's time to CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY!
Starting TODAY, October 4th through the 10th is National Fire Prevention Week, and your Jerome City Fire crews are suiting up with a SUPERPOWER! 🦸‍♂️🦸‍♀️
This year's theme is: "Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower!" 
We have a LOT of super-powered devices in our homes — phones, tablets, laptops, toys, e-bikes — and if they get charged wrong, they can cause a fire.
So we'll be at EVERY Jerome school this week teaching our students how to be Safe-Charging Superheroes!
Your Superhero Mission this week:
1. Only charge with the cord that came with your device
2. Don't charge under your pillow, bed, or couch
3. Unplug when it's fully charged — don't over-charge!
4. If a battery is puffy, super hot, or smells weird, tell an adult right away
Keep an eye out for our trucks at the schools! Give us a wave, ask us questions, and show us YOUR superpower.
Parents — ask your kids each night what superpower they learned!
