The second week in October is Fire Prevention Week, and for as long as I can remember, the Cannon Falls firefighters have been coming to school to teach our students about fire safety. On Wednesday, we had a lyceum in the gym, and then the kids went outside to see the firetrucks.
Firefighter Mike (a former student of mine!) showed the equipment truck and patiently answered questions.
Firefighter Jeremy told us about the pumper truck and demonstrated how to use an air tank.
Firefighter Greg showed some of the tools firefighters use to get into burning buildings.
He also showed us the "jaws of life." The fire rescue truck is very important in medical emergencies as well as fires!
We are so fortunate to have brave firefighters in our community to help protect us and teach us how to be safe. Thanks to all the volunteers!
