TVF&R investigates every fire that occurs within our District. By understanding what causes fires, we learn how to better prevent them and assist in prosecution of those who threaten our community by intentionally setting fires.

Often the key to preventing fires and other emergency incidents is to provide education and change risky behaviors.
