FIRE EDUCATION
Fire Prevention week is wrapping up. We have educated over 500 children this week with great
feedback from parents and teachers about the time spent at all 3 stops on the tour of the station. I
appreciate all the time spent and dedication by the firefighters assisting with the week's
activities, especially with challenges that come with fire calls occurring during the tours. We
have a few more station tours left this week and next. Many more events scheduled throughout
the month at various schools, care facilities, and places of business.
