Boy Scout and Girl Scout Badge work
The SFD is honored and happy to help scout troops prepare and complete badge work requirements as it pertains to emergencies, safety, and preparedness. Please give the fire department a call with all of the info pertaining to the badge your troop or pack is trying to complete. We will build a PowerPoint presentation and teach your scouts all they need to complete the badge work. This could include disaster training, first aid, fire escape planning, and fire safety.
Open House
National Fire Prevention Week is always the first week of October. During Fire Prevention Week, the Sharonville Fire Department will host an open house. The Open House date for 2026 is TBD.
There are fun fire-related activities for the kids to participate in, including a maze to search, an obstacle course, and a fire extinguisher simulator. Haligan, our fire safety Firefighter (an inflatable firefighter costume), is present at each event. We also have a chili cook-off and serve hot dogs to everyone, courtesy of the Sharonville Professional Fire Fighters Local 4498.

Safety Camp
The Sharonville Fire Department, in conjunction with the Police Department, participates in Safety Camp each June. Safety Camp is a one-week program during the Recreation Department’s annual summer camp schedule. During this week, the campers attend talks on safety topics, including fire safety, bicycle safety, internet safety, first aid, and animal safety, among many others. The campers also interact with members of the local bomb squads and S.W.A.T. units. They get to see helicopters from law enforcement and local hospitals up close. Nature talks, walks at Sharon Woods, and visits from the SPCA are always popular days. The firehouse tour is always the highlight of the week. A full day of obstacle courses, competitions, pizza, and sunshine!
