P.R.E.P. Program

Welcome to the P.R.E.P. Program, which stands for (Preventing, Responding, Educating, and Preparing): The goal of the P.R.E.P Program is to ensure the health and wellness of Fountain Valley fire personnel as well as educate the community on risk reduction. We are dedicated to promoting safety and vigilance through educational programs, firefighter’s health/wellness programs, and outreach to the community through activities such as Smoke Alarm Outreach, CPR Demonstrations, Drowning Prevention, "Stop-the-Bleed" campaigns and Fall Prevention Programs. 

The Fountain Valley Fire Department’s P.R.E.P. Program (Preventing, Responding, Educating, and Preparing) is dedicated to promoting safety and vigilance through educational programs, firefighter’s health/wellness programs, and outreach to the community.  

Here are some additional details on the programs mentioned above:

Spark of Love – Each year in late November, fire stations throughout California serve as toy drop-off locations for this charitable event. As residents drop off toys, fire personnel can interact and offer safety information to the community members. We have collected about and donated over 3,000 toys to our community each year.
