During the past several years
our fire prevention program has evolved. In our wildest dreams we never
expected it to grow as big as it is today.
From pre-schools to kindergarten to girl
scouts to even birthday parties we have expanded our programs.
With Pluggie, our firefighters teach all
about 911, stop drop and roll, cover and roll and all how smoke detectors
save lives. We teach children how to call 911 and even show them
what it's like to wear our fire gear and see what the firefighter sees
through a face piece. |
We have learned from them and they have
brought us closer to the community. There is nothing like a child
walking up to you on the street our in a local business telling his or
her parent that "that's the fireman who visited the school with Pluggie."
As 2001 begins, were are already booked
almost every month for some sort of fire safety education program. Also,
with the addition of the fire safety house becoming a regular stop in Old
Forge we see no limits in teaching children about fire safety.
