Dakota Avenue Fire Station No. 60

Open House

Our 2012 Open House was well attended again this year, we had fantastic weather and a great turnout, over 450 people.

There was a lot of interest in the fire extinguisher and CPR demonstrations, as always the fire trucks rides, were a big hit!

Annual Events

Our firefighters spend countless hours hosting and working at the various events throughout the year.

Dan Patch Days - This years event is June 21 - 23

The Savage Fire Department has been very active in past Dan Patch Days celebrations. During the 2012 celebration we were not able to host the neighborhood water fights, due to the Public Works construction project, look for the water fights to return in 2013.

Night to Unite- The First Tuesday of August

The Savage Fire Department also participates in Night to Unite when each piece of equipment is disbursed in different neighborhoods and firefighters answer questions residents may have regarding the fire service in our community.

Fire Prevention Week

Each year several of our firefighter's visit our local elementary schools and daycare centers to speak with the different classes to talk to them about fire prevention and what they can do to help keep their families and their home safe from fire.

Halloween Party

The Savage Fire Department hosts an annual Halloween party for the community. This is a safe environment in which young children, ages newborn to 12 years, may visit the firefighters, play games and be able to leave with some candy, prizes and most of all, a smile on their face. Our department has been hosting this annual event for nearly 30 years.

Fund-Raiser Events

The Savage Fire Department has three fund-raisers each year:

Pancake Breakfast & Open House

Fund-Raiser Dinner
The department sells 100 tickets for this event. Each ticket, for two, is $150. These tickets are most commonly purchased by business owners. There is a steak or chicken dinner and cash drawings are held. This event is typically held the second Monday of October.
