Fire Safety Week!

Last week was "Fire Safety Week"

The local fireman came to talk with our students about how to be prepared for a fire and how we can help to prevent fires.

The fire truck even made the loud siren noises and flashed its lights as it left the school!

Upper Leacock Fire Company is the local one here in Leola.

 Each of the men introduced the students to some of their equipment and their favorite tools.



They also showed us all of the gear they wear and how to put it on!

The students had a chance to sit inside of the truck and feel like a real fire fighter!

The students also had a chance to use the hose! Fire Fighters have to be really strong. The hose was really powerful.

We are really thankful for our fire fighters who risk their lives to take care of our families! We learned that our smoke detector batteries should always be active and that we need a plan for our family in case we would be in an emergency situation.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN?
