Fire Engine Visits

As Boise Fire continues to grow, so does the need for comprehensive training to ensure our firefighters are fully prepared to serve the community.

Due to our increased training and testing demands—and the limited time crews have during each shift—availability for Station Tours and Engine Visits is extremely limited. To ensure we remain operationally ready while still offering public access, Boise Fire now hosts three annual open houses. These events provide individuals, groups, and organizations the opportunity to tour designated stations, explore our equipment, and interact with our firefighters in a structured setting.

We remain committed to building strong community relationships through our fall and spring school programs, annual open houses, and Community Night Out each August.

We look forward to welcoming you at one of our events and continuing to strengthen our connection with the community we proudly serve.
