The “Yellow Dot” program is the first program of its kind in the state of Alabama. It is designed to assist Alabama citizens and first responders in the event of an automobile crash or other medical emergency involving the participant’s vehicle. The program can help save lives during the critical “golden hour” by improving communication at a time when accident victims may be unable to communicate for themselves. You can enroll at Fire Station 1, Monday through Friday between 08:00am and 4:00pm; the process takes about 10 minutes.

We offer American Heart Association – CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) classes for the public on the 2nd Saturday of each month at Fire Station 1 – 7580 Spanish Fort Blvd. You must pre-register here and the class begins at 08:30.

Through a partnership with Hughes Funeral Home we accept worn, damaged or retired American Flags that are due for proper disposal.

Hughes Funeral Homes uses the flags to honor a veteran’s service by including the flag in the cremation process.
You may drop off American Flags at Fire Station 1 any time between 8am and 5pm, Monday through Sunday.

A key responsibility of any fire department is to educate the people it protects by teaching them about fire safety. Throughout the year, the department delivers educational programs to school children, senior citizens, special interest groups, or anyone else who makes a request for information. If you are interested in finding out how the Spanish Fort Fire Rescue Department can help you before a fire starts, please contact us at (251) 626-8876, or use our Online Form.

Staying calm and knowing exactly what to do in a number of different scenarios plays a vital role in making sure you stay safe in the case of a fire. We explain everything that you should do when it comes a fire in your bedroom, highrise apartment, your apartment, and even if you clothes catch on fire. We also take a look at the ideal Emergency Phone Procedure.

Escape Routes

Plan two or more escape routes from every room. Remember, a fire can prevent you from reaching other rooms.

Meeting Place

Don’t forget to include a special meeting place to make sure everybody is out and safe! Don’t waste time getting dressed or gathering valuables – every second counts…Get Out!

Firefighters visit schools within the Spanish Fort service area to deliver a message on fire and life safety; the presentations are divided into three separate formats targeted at specific age groups. All age groups are taught the dangers of playing with fire, what to do in case of a fire, and the importance of smoke alarms. Early childhood, kindergarten through second-grade classes are taught fire safety and tour an actual fire truck.

Firefighters also will schedule visits to local day care facilities upon request. They share basic fire safety information with children and show them the fire engine and what a firefighter looks like in bunker (firefighting) gear. The presentation focuses on teaching children that firefighters are their friends, not to play with matches and lighters, and how to safely exit the home in case of fire.

To schedule a presentation call the SFFR Public Education Office at 251-626-8876.

Firefighters can do a presentation on fire safety or a related topic at the request of the group through the Fire Department. To arrange an SFFR member to visit a group function, simply contact the SFFR Public Education Office by calling (251) 626-8876.  It is recommended that speakers be requested at least two weeks before the event. This is a free service of the Spanish Fort Fire Rescue Department.

Upon request, SFFR also will participate in local health fairs or expositions with an exhibition booth. A firefighter will staff the booth, which features a static display highlighting SFFR actions and fire and life safety, and be available to answer questions.
