About the back to school event...

It's an event hosted by the Coaldale Volunteer Firefighter Associations 'Ladders to Learning' program at the firehall. We will be providing school supplies according to the lists provided by the schools in our community & according to grade. The event will also include information & access to local community programs, firetruck tours, haircuts, snacks & more!

How to register & when to go?

The event in August, 2025 will be open from 4-8 pm. Expect to spend about an hour getting supplies, exploring the fire trucks, meeting the firefighters & enjoying the various activities. We are attempting to spread registration times out a little bit, but if you are going to be early or late, don’t worry about it, we are happy to see you anytime between 4:00 & 8:00!
