The Palm Coast Fire Department extends a warm invitation to visitors interested in exploring its fire stations. Tailored fire station tours are offered for various groups, including church groups, schools, social clubs, mom's groups, and other organizations. Each tour is personalized to cater to the specific age or grade level of the student group.
For those keen on experiencing a fire station tour at one of our facilities, kindly reach out to the Fire Administration by contacting us. We are eager to accommodate your request and schedule a tour that provides valuable insights into our operations and promotes fire safety awareness.
The Palm Coast Fire Department gives fire extinguisher demonstrations at special events or on request. Most of us have seen the red bottle sitting on the shelf or mounted to the wall, but we may not know the proper method of using them. With our mock fire apparatus we can create fires in a controlled situation that allow you to approach and extinguish the flames.
Fire extinguisher demonstrations are available for community groups and businesses. This valuable service will allow your group or employees to have hands-on experience at combating fires with fire extinguishers.
The City of Palm Coast Fire is proud to be a participating member of the National Safe Place Program.

The Palm Coast Fire Stations are registered Baby Drop Stations. In the event a mother gives birth and for whatever reason feels she cannot keep the child she can bring it to any Fire Station or Hospital and leave the "new born infant" with no questions asked and no repercussions to the parent. These are the only locations that he/she can drop a child without facing criminal charges. By law we are not allowed to ask any questions.
