The Adopt A Fire Station Program involves directing donor materials and services to the fire station the donor desires "to adopt." The Program does not replace the city's established fire station restoration program currently administered by the General Services Department. Rather, it serves as a supplement.

The "Get Alarmed Houston" program was introduced by HFD in December 2001, challenging the private industry to donate and help with installing smoke alarms. All smoke alarms are provided through donations or grants.
