Fireman's Landing is an $8 million new area with 10 family adventures, modeled after a community fair of a century ago and showcasing mock training activities of volunteer firefighters. The storyline creates the atmosphere of the rides serving as "training" adventures for recruits for the Silver Dollar City Fire Brigade.

Philip Stittleburg, Chairman of the National Volunteer Fire Council, told the crowd of park guests and firefighters that three out of every four firefighters in the United States today are volunteers. "One of the great things about this area is that it makes people aware that there is an opportunity to serve as a volunteer firefighter," Stittleburg said. "It encourages kids to participate in this incredible tradition and carry it forward."
