And we really appreciate the fire department, and all the guys coming here to help the kids out.įirefighter Goodner agrees that visiting the schools is working just fine. I think it’s wonderful for the kids to see the firemen, and to learn about fire safety. In fact last year, our schedule didn’t work out for them to do all four stations, we got to only do the two. ĪUDIO: Basically just covering fire prevention, and talking about a lot of the things in the house that can be hazardous so the kids know what to look out for when they’re at home, and what to do in case an emergency happens.Įdison School principal Betsy Porter says bringing the fire fighters on campus has worked out great and this year they went all out. Firefighter Matt Goodner says, it’s a good way to teach. In one of them, called the Safe House, students were practicing how to stay low when leaving a home that’s on fire. Various drill stations, teaching fire prevention and safety, were set up all around the playground. For the second straight year, the Danville Fire Department has been spending Fire Prevention Week visiting schools in the area, rather than bringing them to the fire stations.
