Vestavia Hills Fire Department Community Service Programs

Community Service Programs

The Vestavia Hills Fire Department is involved in our community with additional services designed to meet many non-emergency community needs. These are some examples of community and public assistance programs the Vestavia Hills Fire Department provides:

	Assistance in delivery of “Meals on Wheels” which provide a hot noontime meal to some of our homebound citizens.
---xxx	A reading program at our elementary schools designed to reinforce the importance of reading skills and to establish a relationship of familiarity and trust between the students and fire department personnel.
---xxx	CPR training for our citizens and employees of local businesses.
	The Department has available teaching outlines and materials for Risk Watch, a comprehensive injury prevention program for children in preschool through eighth grade. It is designed to help children and their families create safer homes and communities by teaching them the skills and knowledge they need to make positive choices about their personal safety and well-being. Risk Watch modules are available for different grade levels containing the following topics: Fire and burn prevention Choking, suffocation, and strangulation prevention Poisoning prevention Fall prevention Firearm injury prevention Bike and pedestrian safety Motor vehicle safety Water safety To learn more about this program, click on the Risk Watch modules on the left.
