Home Fire Prevention and Safety
The Detroit Fire Department wants to ensure you and your family have all the information you need to prevent fires in your home and stay safe in the event of an emergency. We have a robust Community Risk Reduction program in place involving multiple divisions throughout the department. This program uses data to drive decision making and meets residents where they are with helpful and timely information.
DFD Safety Series
Under the leadership of Executive Fire Commissioner Chuck Simms, the Detroit Fire Department Fire Marshal and Community Relations Divisions have launched the DFD Safety Series, monthly webinars designed to provide residents with a deep dive into specific topics around fire safety and prevention.
The webinars run the second Wednesday of each month at 6pm. You can join here:
