October is Fire Safety Prevention Month and ILES second graders are getting a refresher course from local first responders.
Members of the Lakeview and Indian Joint Fire Departments brought their trucks and equipment to show off recently. Students were able to get inside and explore the trucks, plus check out the hoses and valves on the outside. They also tried on some fire protection. Most importantly, they reviewed why smoke detectors are so important, how to try to safely exit a structure that's on fire and they were reminded to have a family meeting spot in a safe place outside.
