As part of Fire Safety Month educational activities, our Indian Springs Kindergarteners and First Graders were visited by the Sullivan County Volunteer Fire Department on Friday, October 10th. The children got to see a fire truck up close, see what's inside all its compartments, hear its very loud siren, and talk to and ask questions of the fire fighters (one of whom is one of Mrs. Conrad's former first graders!).
The children watched as one of the firemen donned his entire firefighting suit, including air tank, mask, and hat. The kids got to hear the "Darth Vader" sound that a firefighter makes when he breathes. They got to touch his gloves and learn that he's just a regular guy under the fire suit. This is an important experience for these young children to have, as it will help them not to be afraid of firefighters in an actual emergency.
Thank you Sullivan County Volunteer Fire Department for helping educate our children about fire safety!
