Fire Station Tours
Get a behind-the-scenes look at your local fire station and learn about fire prevention and life safety with the Burlington Fire Department.
Fire station tours offer an educational experience for families, schools and community groups to learn about fire safety and the important role firefighters play in keeping our community safe.
Visiting a fire station with a small group?
Individuals, families and small groups of five people or fewer are welcome to visit a Burlington fire station without booking a formal tour.
Walk-in visits are subject to firefighter availability and emergency response requirements.
For larger groups or organized visits, please submit a fire station tour request in advance.
