Today Tuesday 10/17/23, Mohegan FD again continued to hit our schools with our Fire Prevention Program. As everyone know, October is Fire Prevention Month, so today we made a visit to the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. The Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders learned many fire and safety tips. The kids also had an opportunity to learn about our turnout gear plus all the equipment carried on Engine 255. Continue to be on the look out for our Fire Prevention Team as we continue to visit many schools and community events! We thank the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School for some of the photos provided!

For the parents, some of the topics discussed which may be brought home for further discussion are:

1) Dialing 911
2) Stop Drop and Roll
3) E.D.I.T.H (Exit Drills In The Home) with a focus on having a safe spot for everyone to meet (mailbox, tree, neighbor’s house etc) in case of a fire or emergency
4) Never play with Matches/Lighters
5) Changing batteries on smoke and/or CO detectors with the clock change “Change your Clock, Change your Battery”
