Special Considerations

 -The Marietta Fire Department does not offer facilities to host Birthday Parties. You can however schedule a tour as part of your special day.


-The Marietta Fire Department will make every effort to support visits from groups associated with the Boys Scouts and Girl Scouts of America and assist with badge requirements. The fire department is not able to “teach” the lessons associated with the badge requirements but will rather assist in answering any questions your group may have.     

               

-Request for Apparatus & Crews to be at community events within the limits of the City Of Marietta are not guaranteed. The ability to attend community events can often be outweighed by weather, availability of apparatus and personnel, calendar conflicts, or simply responding to emergencies in the city.
