A member of the Cary Fire Department Recruitment Team will staff an informational booth at your event and discuss educational, physical, and training requirements of the job, and explain the application process to become a Cary firefighter.

Fire Department staff teach program participants how to plan and prepare for emergencies and offer ways to stay informed. For a more comprehensive understanding of emergency preparedness, the fire department periodically offers the 20+ hour CERT program.

The fire department attends events promoting community health and wellness. We can send a whole fire company or a firefighter to talk about fire safety in the home and workplace, distribute fire safety materials, and show the fire truck.

All Cary fire stations are open to the public every day. If we’re not on a call, we’ll happily show you and your family around the station and the fire trucks. If you’ll be visiting with a group, please fill out our interest form to request a time and station at least two weeks in advance to ensure availability.

A fire department staff member will speak to your church, community group, HOA, or place of business to deliver specially prepared fire safety messages and provide fire safety materials. Please fill out our interest form to schedule.

We offer a variety of programs for children. We will visit your daycare or preschool and show the children our fire gear and let them tour the fire truck, or we can read a book to your class! Please fill out our interest form to schedule.

We will send a truck or a firefighter to your school to teach fire safety messages and show the fire truck and our fire gear. For older grades (3-5), we can specially tailor a fire safety message to align with your curriculum needs. Please fill out our interest form to schedule.

Our Office of the Fire Marshal conducts foster home fire inspections.

The fire department offers assistance with smoke alarms. If you need help testing an alarm, changing the battery, or installing or replacing an alarm, call Fire Administration (919-469-4056) during normal business hours, or the 911 Center's non-emergency number (919-469-4012) after hours to schedule a fire department representative to assist. We are unable to replace hardwired alarms if the wiring harnesses are not compatible.
