As Fire Prevention Week for 2026 is coming to an end, we wanted to take a moment to look back at everything our firefighters have been up to this week…
We kicked off the week with our firefighters visiting Tuckerton Elementary, where they spent the day teaching students about fire safety, what to do in an emergency & what it’s really like to be a firefighter.
Next, our firefighters, along with firefighters from West Tuckerton Fire Company and Mystic Island Fire Company, visited Frog Pond Elementary School for a special fire prevention presentation featuring an E-bike and a visit from Sparky! It was a great opportunity to talk with students about important fire safety topics and how they can help keep themselves & their families safe.
Later that evening, we hosted our annual Fire Prevention Open House at the Firehouse. Every year, this event is one of our favorites, and this year was no exception. Seeing so many families from our community come out to spend the evening with us is something we truly appreciate!
The kids had the opportunity to participate in the poster contest award ceremony, enjoy pizza and soda, watch an awesome K9 demonstration from LEH PD Officer Smith and K9 Hooks, spray water through a real fire hose, watch our firefighters perform a live vehicle extrication demonstration, and, of course, finish the night with everyone’s favorite- fire truck rides!
A huge congratulations to all of our poster contest winners from both schools! We are incredibly proud of every student who participated and took the time to help spread the message of fire safety.
We would also like to extend a big thank you to the Little Egg Harbor Police Department, West Tuckerton Fire Company, Mystic Island Fire Company, and everyone else who helped make this year’s school presentations and Open House such a success.
To end the week, our firefighters attended a fire prevention presentation at the George J. Mitchell School with West Tuckerton Fire Company & Mystic Island Fire Company.
Fire Prevention Week may be coming to an end, but fire safety is something we should practice all year long. We are proud to serve our community, and we are especially grateful for the opportunity to educate and connect with the youngest members of it.
Thank you to everyone who came out and helped make Fire Prevention Week 2026 one to remember! 🚒❤️
