Request the House

If you'd like the Fire Safety House to visit your area, please complete and submit the following form. The Fire Safety House program coordinator will contact you upon receipt of your request to help you plan a successful fire safety event in your area. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact the FSH program coordinator.

We have been fortunate to have many supporters of the Fire Safety House program over the years. Two major supporters, State Farm Insurance and the Iowa Elks Association, have offered their assistance as volunteers at events. You can locate this assistance from State Farm by visiting their website. Log on to www.statefarm.com, type in your zip code, and a list of local agents will appear. To locate an Elks Lodge in your area, visit www.elks.org/lodges and type in your zip code.
