As part of National Fire Prevention Week, students from preschool to the 5th grade learned all about fire prevention and safety during a visit from the Scullville Volunteer Fire Company on Wednesday, October 9.
Fire Official Don Stauffer brought a fire truck to the ACS campus and the students were able to get a close-up look at the tools, hoses, gauges, and safety and rescue equipment. One highlight was when firefighter Stauffer filled a fire hose with water, showing the power of the water as he sprayed the parking lot.
Mr. Stauffer demonstrated how to react in the event of fire, using the “stop, drop, cover, and roll” method. He also showed how a fire alarm works, setting it off so the students could learn how to react if one ever went off in their home or elsewhere.
PreK2 students in Miss Nicole’s and Miss Brittany’s classes wore paper firefighter hats to the presentation that they had colored red during art class. Other students wore red shirts and coats as a way to honor our firefighters.
