Study Notes

Public Presentations by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue (MDFR) aims to educate the public on fire prevention and life safety through presentations and facility tours.
Requests for public education initiatives should be forwarded to the Public Education Bureau.

Request Process

Requests for tours or presentations must be submitted online via the Miami-Dade County website.
Steps to submit a request include navigating through “Your Government” to “Fire Rescue Community Outreach” and selecting relevant options.
Important contact information (requestor's name, phone number) needs to be forwarded to the Public Education Bureau.

Processing Requests

The Public Education Bureau acknowledges and processes all requests, confirming the nearest station and unit availability.
If a unit is available, details will be added to both Battalion Chief's and Fire Alarm Office (FAO) calendars.
Conflicts due to scheduled drills or excessive presentations may require rescheduling.

Cancellation Procedures

If a unit cannot attend, the Unit Officer-in-Charge (OIC) must notify the requestor and the Public Education Bureau.
Cancellation notifications from requestors will lead to removal from calendars, and the unit's OIC will be informed.
Cancellations on the day of the presentation prompt immediate contact with involved personnel.

Substitutions

The Battalion Chief may allow another unit to substitute during truck demonstrations if it meets the original criteria.
If a station tour's scheduled units are unavailable, options include substitution or cancellation after consulting the requestor.

Bunker Gear Guidelines

Department-issued bunker gear cannot be worn during public presentations.
Two sets of demo bunker gear are stored at each Battalion Station for use during presentations, one for staff and another for attendees.
Demo gear must be returned to the appropriate station post-presentation and is cleaned on predetermined dates.

Presentation Completion

After a presentation, the Unit OIC is responsible for completing the National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) report, detailing the event and outcomes.
