Students at Quest Elementary School in Hilton toured a Hilton fire truck for Fire Prevention Week, October 7 to 13.
This year’s theme was “Have 2 Ways Out!” stressing the importance of having a home fire escape plan that prepares families to think fast and get out quickly when the smoke alarm sounds.
Firefighters also handed out fire hats, coloring books, crayons, and stickers.
Pictured, Firefighter Tom Furtner talks to Carol Jones’ class about the fire gear worn by firefighters during a blaze. Thomas Legler is modeling the gear so students know what they will see if they are ever in a fire.
