Fire & EMS Programs
Smoke Detector Program
All dwelling units (homes, hotels and apartments) are required by city code to have a smoke detector(s).
The Fire Department will, at no charge, check your smoke detector to make sure that it is working properly. Also, if you need help installing your smoke detector or changing the batteries, the Fire Department will help you do that.
Residents of Leon Valley who cannot afford to install a smoke detector in their home should contact the Fire Department. Smoke detectors are available at no cost if you cannot afford to buy one.
Fire Extinguisher Class
Fire Department personnel offer classes in the proper installation, maintenance and use of fire extinguishers.
The classes include information on the proper selection of the type of extinguisher to use and the proper technique for extinguishing a fire with the extinguisher. Classes are held on an as-needed basis. Contact the Fire Department for more information at (210) 684-3219.
Safe Drug Disposal
The Leon Valley Fire Department is now offering a hassle-free way to dispose of prescription drugs and limit the availability of high-risk prescription medications at home.
Blessing Box
Blessing Boxes are stocked with non-perishable food items, basic toiletries, baby supplies, and anything else that might be considered a blessing to someone who finds themselves in need. Often times, we have extra boxes of these items, unopened, within our homes and they could be donated. The Fire Department will be collecting items every day from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Simply drop-off or pick-up items in the red containers located at the front of the Fire Station, 6300 El Verde Road
A simple rule applies - Leave what you can, take what you need.
If you would like to donate or if there are specific items needed please call 210-684-3219.
