PUBLIC EDUCATION SERVICES
The Lake Havasu City
Fire Department offers a wide range of fire and life safety
classes with the community’s safety in mind. The positions
that provide these programs are two public education
specialists (NFPA Educator II and III). These educators are
full-time employees, and with their combined effort,
instruct approximately 900 classes each year.
The ages of program
participants range from preschool to senior citizens.
Classes are conducted in various settings, such as schools,
businesses, churches, community events, etc. Below are brief
descriptions of a few of the programs that are available:
