More info
The Phoenix Fire Department members discovered that the percentage of children appropriately immunized in Arizona was extremely low. Having always been proactive in meeting the needs of the community, a free childhood immunization program was developed and implemented. Vaccines are provided through "Vaccine for Children" which is a federally funded program for the uninsured.
Safe Haven for Newborns
The
Arizona Safe Baby Haven foundation provides a safe and legal option. All fire stations and all on-duty fire fighters are considered Safe Havens.
FireFit Kids
The
FireFit Kids Program is designed to expose teenagers to the benefits of regular exercise and the practice of healthy habits. Fire FitKids uses firefighters to share their knowledge, enthusiasm and experience to improve the motivation, knowledge and fitness of the community's youth.
Youth Firesetter Program
A youth fire setter is a child under the age of 18, who accidentally or purposely starts a fire. Each year youth set fires cause hundreds of injuries and deaths and destroy millions of dollars worth of property. Since 1979, the Phoenix Fire Department's
Youth Firesetter Intervention Program has been dedicated to assisting youth and their families with the issues related to fire curiosity, fire experimentation, and fire setting.
