Kutztown Fire & Rescue Introduces “New-to-Us” Fire Safety Trailer to the Community
Email Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Deputy Chief Josh Young
August 6, 2025

Kutztown Fire & Rescue is excited to announce the arrival of a new-to-us Fire Safety Educational Trailer—a valuable addition to our public outreach and fire prevention efforts. While not brand new, this gently used trailer is new to our department and represents a major step forward in how we connect with our community to teach life-saving safety lessons.

Bringing Fire Safety to You
This mobile unit allows our firefighters to take education out of the firehouse and into the neighborhoods, schools, and events where it's needed most. Whether it's a local fair, a school safety day, or a senior center visit, the fire safety trailer makes learning interactive, hands-on, and memorable.

A Hands-On Experience for All Ages
The trailer is designed to simulate a variety of home fire scenarios in a safe and controlled environment. Inside, visitors will find:

A mock kitchen and two bedrooms with hidden hazards for people to spot and learn from.

Two heated door props to demonstrate the importance of checking for heat before opening a door in a fire.

A smoke simulation system that shows how quickly smoke can fill a room—and how to safely crawl low to escape.

Working smoke alarms, emergency lighting, and escape ladders to teach quick response in emergencies.

Children, teens, and adults all benefit from tailored safety messaging, and firefighters will walk participants through each step, sharing practical tips and real-world knowledge.

Building Stronger Community Connections
The fire safety trailer will be a regular feature at local events such as the Kutztown Fair, Fire Prevention Week, school programs, and township gatherings. It will also be available for use by request for:

School safety demonstrations

Scout troop activities

Community block parties

Senior citizen outreach events

Business safety days

Request the Trailer for Your Event
Are you planning a community event or educational program? The Fire Safety Trailer is now available for scheduling! Kutztown Fire & Rescue encourages schools, event organizers, and local groups to request a visit through our online form at www.kutztownfire.com. Once on the website navigate on the left side to Community Info, Fire Prevention.

We'll work with you to plan a visit that’s engaging, informative, and fun for your audience. Space is limited, so early requests are recommended.

Kutztown Fire & Rescue remains committed to prevention through education. Our “new-to-us” fire safety trailer might have a few miles on it—but it’s full of potential to make a big difference in our community.

For questions or to schedule a visit, contact us at info@kutztownfire.com or call 610-683-8703.
