| 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."
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.
