Since 2021, The Squad has become one of Richmond Fire-Rescue’s strongest connections to the community — bringing firefighters, fire safety education and public engagement directly into schools, neighbourhoods, events and public spaces across Richmond.

More than just a visit, The Squad creates opportunities for children, families, seniors and residents to meet their fire department in a welcoming, hands-on and memorable way. Every appearance helps build trust, share important safety information and strengthen the connection between Richmond Fire-Rescue and the community we serve.

From classroom programs and community celebrations to public events of all sizes, The Squad helps make fire safety approachable, personal and engaging.
