Program Description:
Harris County Fire Marshal’s Office Community Outreach DivisionThe Community Outreach Division consists of three primary sections:
• Public Education
• Public Relations and Communications
• Youth Firesetter Intervention Program (YFIP)
Public EducationThe Public Education Officer provides free informational programs designed to address
fire and life safety issues for citizens in the unincorporated area of Harris County. The
presentations are directed to audiences ranging from young children to senior citizens
and are offered to businesses, residents, governmental agencies, and professional
groups. The presentations typically last from 30 to 60 minutes. Most include a brief
lecture, PowerPoint presentation, and short video accompanied by informative handout
materials. Presentations can often be tailored to meet the specific needs of the
audience. Additionally, our personnel can appear at company functions such as safety
fairs and wellness events to speak and distribute fire prevention and life safety
handouts. HCFMO even employs our own outreach canine named Cinder.
