While our team will do their best to fulfill all appointments, Bozeman Fire's first priority is responding to fires and other emergencies. Please keep in mind that the firefighters are on-duty and may be called out. If you arrive for your appointment and the firefighters not at the station, wait a few minutes to see if they return or call our Admin Office to reschedule at (406) 582-2350. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

When your car seat expires or you no longer need it, please recycle it.
