Are you looking for a unique way to celebrate your child’s birthday, graduation, or other special occasion?
The Urbandale Fire Department would like to offer a new celebration package for the residents of Urbandale.
So get your camera ready. We can have our Big Red Fire truck show up at your home, park, or other party location with its flashing lights, real firefighters, and a variety of important safety information for the children.
We will arrive at the time of your choice in our fire truck with the lights flashing.
Real firefighters will get out of the truck and greet all of the children. We will give a special greeting to the child we are celebrating for.
Children will be able to tour the fire truck inside and out.
We will have real firefighter equipment such as hoses, tools, ladders, our firefighting gear, etc.
Each child will be given a packet with fire safety information.
Usually geared toward children ages 4 and older.
See the Services page for complete details on our Celebration Package.

**We are a busy fire department. With that being said, if we are attending a party and receive an emergency call, we may need to break away from the party. We also might not be able to give the child a ride in the fire truck. We will do our best but we cannot promise or guarantee this. Also, a waiver will need to be signed prior to riding the fire truck.
Our mission is to preserve life, protect property and promote safety through education.
At the Urbandale Fire Department we run a variety of calls including medical, fire, or public assists. With that being said we have the tendency to get very busy. In the event of us being at a party and we receive a call, it may be necessary for us to break away from the party. More details will be given over the phone or via email when you fill out one of our request forms. Below is our request form. Once you submit a form someone will contact you within one week. Thank you for your interest in the Urbandale Fire Department. We will hopefully see you soon at your next party!
