The vision of Frisco Fire Safety Town began in 1993 when Fire Chief Mack Borchardt was approached by firefighters who wanted to purchase a portable 'fire safety house' they could take to schools in Frisco to teach children about fire safety. Chief Borchardt thought a more permanent display with hands-on activities would be a better way to imprint fire safety lessons to the children.
In 2002, the new Central Fire Station and Frisco Fire Safety Town project was added to the City of Frisco's Bond Package to let voters decide. Later that same year, the bond package passed with a 98% approval rating. In 2003, as plans were being drawn up for what is now known as Frisco Fire Safety Town, Chief Borchardt began to approach local business owners and developers in the Frisco community with the idea of sponsoring buildings within the outdoor area. This would help to give the town a true 'Frisco' appearance as well as give business owners and developers a new way to promote their wares.
Below are those businesses that have pledged to sponsor buildings, programs and more at Frisco Fire Safety Town. Those businesses identified as Founding Sponsors were among the very first sponsors to have the foresight to see what could be created with each of their unique contributions.
