Come join us on the West Quad for the UC Davis Fire Department’s annual Fire Day, a campus-wide showcase of our Fire Suppression crews, EMS Department, and Fire Prevention division!

What’s happening on the Quad?

  • Hands-on fire safety training: Learn how to properly use a fire extinguisher and brush up on essential fire safety tips.
  • Hands-only CPR training: Get lifesaving skills directly from our EMS instructors.
  • Turnout drill races: Suit up in full firefighter protective gear (PPE) and compete in a challenge against a student firefighter. Winners will take home a fire department T-shirt!
  • Yard games with fire crews: Relax and have fun with our on-duty firefighters.
  • Live demonstration: At noon, watch the T34 crew perform an auto-extrication demonstration on a vehicle.
