Welcome to the Columbus Division of Fire's newest component to the Community Relations Office. The Division is committed to providing the message of fire safety/prevention to all the citizens of Columbus. We are now able to deliver the prevention message in Spanish. FF J.
Sierra, who is of Mexican descent, has been presenting these life saving measures for 2 years. As the community continues to grow we need to make sure all citizens receive the message of prevention. The following modules are included in the Latino Outreach program:

  • Basic fire safety/prevention for preschoolers (ages 3-5), elementary (ages 6-10) and adults
  • Tutor 8th grade Spanish speaking students
  • Juvenile Fire Setters (Spanish speaking youth)
  • Fire safety/prevention presentation to businesses that have a significant Spanish speaking labor force
  • Basic Spanish for Division personnel (EMS/Fire) on a volunteer basis
