Prevention & Education

The Prevention Division of the Sidney Fire Department is committed to fire safety by conducting routine fire inspections of existing buildings, consulting with the building inspection department during new construction, and providing public safety education to schools, seniors, businesses, and clubs.

Did you know that the Sidney Fire Department will come install a free smoke alarm to Town of Sidney residents? We will also supply and replace smoke alarm batteries, or clean out your smoke alarm. Our goal is to have every Town of Sidney resident have a working smoke alarm. For more information, visit our Smoke Alarm Program page or contact the Department.

The Fire Prevention Division also conducts fire investigations to determine the cause and origin of fires. Statistics from fire investigations from around the province are compiled by the Office of the Fire Commissioner and through these statistics, trends and new hazards are identified.
