Fire Prevention & Life Safety Services
SGFPD Station
The current station is a combination of original 1981 construction plus a 5000 square foot addition which was completed in October of 2001. This addition included sleeping quarters, an additional 2000 square feet of apparatus bay space, a state-of-the-art training room, a formal public entrance as well as new administrative offices.
SGFPD Smoke House Training Facility
The SGFPD smoke-house facility is a 2100 square foot stand-alone facility designed for simulated fire training. Construction was completed in 1996 at a minimal cost to the Fire District due to the generous donations of skilled labor and materials by many local laborers and businesses including Kukla Construction, Swederski Concrete and Thelen Sand & Gravel.
Smoke Simulation Training
This facility is frequently used to simulate smoky conditions for In-House Firefighter training and Public Education Events in which local residents and school children can practice Public Fire Safety Principles:
Crawl Low In Smoke
Know Your Safe Meeting Place
Stop! Drop! & Roll!
