Open House

***Thank you to all those who visited during the 2024 event!  It was an honor to meet and speak with so many of you.  We are grateful for the unwavering support of the citizens of Dayton.  We also appreciate the business partners who helped make this event successful including Green Mill, USA Inflatables, Connexus Energy, and North EMS.***

You are invited to the Dayton Fire Open House! Join hundreds of others for an afternoon of community fellowship, education and family fun!

The Dayton Fire Department celebrates National Fire Prevention Week (NFPW) by holding an Open House at Station 2 (City Hall) to showcase the multi-faceted elements of emergency response in our city.  We invite co-responders to join in the fun and education for the whole family.  There are interactive displays, live demonstrations, tow trucks, food trucks, inflatables, photo ops with Sparky the Firepup, tours of fire trucks, police cars, Connexus Energy demos, State Trooper, giveaways, North Memorial AirCare helicopter, ambulance, Red Cross and more!

Physical Agility Test

Once a year, the Dayton Fire Department holds a Physical Agility Test at Station 1 (Activity Center).  This test is for prospective firefighters.  All 7 elements are designed to be relevant fire-fighting maneuvers and passing this test in less than 6 minutes and 30 seconds is the first required step towards joining our department.  Taking the test does not constitute a commitment for any participant.   Joining us for a physical ability test night is a great way to meet current members of the department and have questions answered.  Click HERE for the date of the next PAT.
