Station Tours
Groups of 30 or less can book a station tour at any of
the City of Madison Fire Stations. Station tours typically include
an inside look at the fire apparatus, the tools that are
used during a fire or other emergencies, and a demonstration of
firefighter gear and how it is used. Some general fire safety
information is also typically covered. Station tours take between 30 minutes
and 1 hour to complete.
It is preferred that station tours be scheduled during
the morning hours between 9:00 am and 10:30 am, Monday through Saturday in
order to best accommodate the firefighters daily schedule. However,
alternative times can be arranged, if necessary. No station tours
will be given on Sundays. It is requested that all station tour
requests occur at a minimum of two (2) weeks prior to the desired
date. Station tour requests after 5 pm must be scheduled at
least one (1) month in advance. Also, please keep in mind that
the firefighters are on-duty during the tour and in the event of an
emergency will have to depart quickly. Another tour can be
scheduled, if necessary.
To schedule a tour please contact the fire department at
(608) 266-4420 or any of the three community education staff members listed
above at their direct phone line or through email (click on their name to
