Firefighters Visit!

This past week, two Hinesburg firefighters visited our school to teach us about fire safety!  Firefighter Jim showed us all the protective clothing he wears when fighting fires including pants, jacket, and hood.  He even demonstrated how his mask and breathing apparatus works. It was very exciting!  He told the children that they should yell as loud as they can for help if they are ever involved in a fire so the firefighters can find them. Children should never hide!


Later that morning, we learned all about the fire and rescue trucks from Firefighter Eric.  He showed us all the parts and explained their purpose and answered the children's questions. Thank you, Firefighters Jim and Eric!
