The City of Racine - Wisconsin

Group Tours of the Fire Department

Individual and Group tours of all Fire Stations are welcome during normal business hours (8 am to 5 pm). Group Tours consisting of four or more individuals can be arranged in advance by calling (262) 635-7915. By scheduling group tours at least one week in advance we will make sure we adjust our fire department training schedule to have fire fighters and paramedics in the fire station when you arrive.

Fire Department Support Group

The Racine Fire Bells are a community oriented group of citizens who have banded together in support of the fire service. This is done through two distinct areas of interest: Firehouse 3 Museum, and Fire Bells Emergency Service Rehab. Both areas have equal focus, although Rehab is their most visible, and often spoken about area of service.

The Racine Fire Bells provide rehab coverage in Racine, Kenosha and Walworth Counties serving approximately 50 fire departments and various law enforcement agencies. This is done with two vehicles - one based in Racine and the other based in Lake Geneva. Between the two Rehab Units they have gone on hundreds of emergency callls over the last 10 years. They have been around since 1949. To learn more about their Community Service in the Greater Racine Area go to their website at http://www.racinefirebells.org
