The kids learned fire and safety tips inside with a visit from Sparky the Fire Dog and Freddie the Fire Truck. The children also were shown how a firefighters gets dressed into full gear. The kids were then were shown all the equipment carried on Engine 256.

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) Matches/Lighters are a Tool and Not a Toy
5) Changing batteries on smoke and/or CO detectors with the clock change “Change your Clock, Change your Battery”
