Glenside Fire Company participates in numerous fire prevention activities throughout the year in order to educate the public about fire related dangers they may face on a daily basis.  We also focus on creating plans of action for families in the event of a fire.  We have numerous school and community groups visit our firehouse throughout the year and we also go out into the community and give presentations.  If your organization would like a fire prevention presentation, contact Matthew Scholly by email or any other GFC member.

We have custom coloring books for children as well as stickers, plastic fire helmets, and fire apparatus trading cards.  You can stop by our firehouse to receive these items or view them online and print copies for your children.  Click on the images below to preview:
