The best way to get a fire truck to your block party is to put your request in writing EARLY. Even doing that won't guarantee a truck depending on number of requests for that date and unpredictable but expected emergency calls that would obviously take precedence.
To arrange for a presentation or for more information on Community Outreach Programs, contact Fire Captain Derrick Phillips at (314) 289-1905, or fax your letter of request to (314) 286-8606. Your request should include the date and time of your event, the number and age group of the participants, what resource you are requesting, and a contact person.
You can also mail your request to Capt. Phillips attention at the following address:
St Louis Fire Department Headquarters
1421 N Jefferson St
St Louis, MO 63106
A follow-up phone call to ensure they received and properly processed your request is also a good idea.
