We are here to serve our community first and foremost.  

The Fairlawn Fire Department is happy to offer blood pressure screenings for our residents and visitors during regular business hours. If you are wanting to have your blood pressure checked, please stop by the fire station located at 3525 South Smith Road.

Fire Prevention through Public Education

The Fairlawn Fire Department is dedicated to keeping our community safe from the perils and hazards of fire emergencies by providing fire prevention education to the residents of Fairlawn. The Fairlawn Fire Department offers station tours and can also provide personnel to visit your organization to present information on various fire and life safety topics.  

To schedule a public education event, please contact the Fire Marshall at (330)-668-9540 Option 3.

Each month from October to May, our public education team visit our local elementary schools to teach students from kindergarten through fourth grade. A variety of topics are covered including water safety, Stop Drop Roll, calling 9-1-1, how to make a home safety plan and more!

Every summer, we look forward to being a part of Fairlawn's Safety Town! The kids learn as they watch demonstrations, videos and have open discussion with our firefighters about fire safety basics.  

We are grateful for the resources we have available to us to ensure these learning experiences are memorable and fun for the kids including our Fire Smoke trailer and Tornado Safety Trailer which allow for hands-on learning experiences.

Today, many homes and buildings are constructed with energy conservation in mind. Doors and windows seal tighter, and insulation has improved to help maintain an efficient climate-controlled environment. However, there are instances when appliances, such as home-heating furnaces, water heaters, and fireplaces, which burn wood or hydrocarbon products for fuel, may produce carbon monoxide (CO). Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless gas by-product of combustion which can be harmful to the health and welfare of the building occupant.

The Fairlawn Fire Department urges everyone to purchase a CO detector for your home or business. They are available at most homeCarbon Monoxide Detector improvement, household goods, or discount stores. And, like smoke detectors, make sure you change the battery twice a year. A convenient time to place new batteries in your smoke or CO detector is at the time change which occurs in March and November.

If you suspect CO, evacuate the structure immediately and call 9-1-1. The Fairlawn Fire Department will check for CO using state-of-the-art meters designed to read the smallest amount of CO. In addition, the Fire Department will leave a loaner CO detector on your premises for up to 24-hours to help determine if any CO is present in your building.
