Businesses, churches, and community groups can request fire extinguisher, first aid, and CPR training from the fire department for a very reasonable cost.

The volunteers are active in the community providing education services to Forsyth Schools and area daycares as well as at events such as Forsyth Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Parade, and Christmas Parade.
