Prevention & Safety Resources

Central Douglas Fire & Rescue is committed to protecting lives, property, and community well-being through proactive fire prevention.  Whether at home, in the workplace,  in our schools, or during public events, prevention measures play a vital role in reducing fire risk and ensuring public safety.

This fire prevention resource page provides guidance, standards, and best practices to assist residents, businesses, and organizations in creating safer environments.  Here, you will find information on many aspects of fire prevention, including but not limited to residential safety, workplace compliance, school fire safety planning, and requirements for public assemblies and special events.

Our mission is to safeguard the community through education, preparedness, and collaboration.  By working together, we can prevent incidents before they occur and foster a strong culture of safety across many types of events and community settings.  Please return to this page often, as rules, regulations, and codes do change regularly, and we will update with the current information.

Public events can pose safety risks like crowded spaces, low lighting, and unfamiliar attendees. To reduce these risks, strong safety planning is essential from the start.

Any event within the Central Douglas Fire & Rescue Authority (CDF&R) area must prioritize the safety of staff, volunteers, guests, and others involved. Whether you’re a student, venue manager, or part of an outside group, you’re responsible for event safety.

Events of all types—fairs, fireworks, graduations, concerts, and more—must meet fire and life safety standards. While specific rules vary by event, safety planning is always required.
