WELCOME TO METRO FIRE

On December 1, 2000, two local fire districts came together and formed the Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District. From public education and training to firefighting, emergency services, search and rescue and more, your Metro Fire professionals stand ready to serve the greater Sacramento region. We invite you to visit this site often and let us know what we can do to improve our partnerships with you, our community.

 

Workplace Safety

As we return from vacations and a relaxing summer, September is a good time to think about workplace safety. Metro Fire receives many emergency service requests for employees injured on the job, and offers these tips to help keep your workplace safe and sound. And let's don't forget about "Home Safety."

 

While you’re focused on staying healthy at work, let’s not forget that next month we will be recognizing Fire Prevention Week. We are requesting that you help us recognize Fire Prevention Week with this important fire safety tip - check your smoke detectors! Confirm that they are functioning and maintained. We suggest, that every time you switch your clock - switch out the batteries as well. Tonight, go ahead and have all family members practice your evacuation drill right after dinner. Activate one of the alarms by testing the alarm for all family members to recognize the sound. Have everyone practice your escape plan and to locate at the meeting place. Do you know where everyone will be at three o'clock in the morning?

Practice!   Practice!   Practice!
