Fire and Safety Education
Fire and safety education helps residents, families, and property owners reduce the risk of fire and respond safely in emergencies. Through education, training, and awareness, the Town of Milton supports safer homes, workplaces, and communities.
Fire extinguisher training
Learn how to safely use a portable fire extinguisher during small, manageable fires. This training blends instruction with hands-on practice to build confidence in responding to fire emergencies.
Home fire safety
Most fire-related deaths occur in the home. Home fire safety resources focus on preventing common household fire risks and protecting your family through early detection and effective planning.
