EVENTS

Our Fire Prevention Program has been in place for several years. We go into Ingleside Primary and Gilbert J. Mircovich and teach the students about preventing fires. We use several techniques in order to teach them how to prevent a fire and what to do in case of a fire. Outside the students get to explore the fire trucks and watch the fire fighters put on their gear. Inside the schools our Fire Chief gives a presentation with the help of Pluggie. Pluggie is a robotic fire hydrant that talks to the kids and helps the Fire Chief teach them about fire safety.

The Fire and Emergency Services Expo is a learning opportunity for the entire family. We have displays from various emergency services, demostrations in extrication, high-angle rescue, fire extinguishers and more. There will also be several events throughout the day from the kid's pumper races to old fashioned bucket brigade. Other activites include antique fire engine competition, fire dogs, Corpus Christi's Smoke House and fire escape plans. We will be visited by HaLo Flight, Coast Guard, DPS Helo, Smokey Bear and the Texas Forest Service. It is free for everyone and there is fun for all. NEW this year we are introducing a Chili Cookoff, you can pick up an application at the Fire Department or download from the website. Anyone wanting to participate in any of the activities please contact us by email (sowens@inglesidetx.gov) or by phone 361-776-7422.
