During Fire Prevention Week, members of Station 70 visited GJM, Tuckerton Elementary, and Frog Pond Elementary to educate students on the importance of fire safety and education. Presentations included an overview of the fire trucks, equipment, and tools as well as important safety topics such as what to do in an emergency, how to properly call 9-1-1, and the importance of staying low in a fire. Students also enjoyed Sparky themed trivia, a fire safety song and dance, and a drawing/coloring contest.
To wrap up the week, Station 70 hosted a community Fire Prevention Night, where the awards were presented to the contest winners. The station opened its doors to families throughout the surrounding neighborhoods for an evening full of fun and education. Kids had the opportunity to explore the firetrucks, spray water, watch a live vehicle extrication demonstration and put together goodie bags filled with fire safety materials and information. We also had the privilege of Officer from Little Egg Harbor Police Department come and do a k9 demonstration.
Station 70 was proud to connect with local students and families while helping spread important fire safety knowledge throughout the community!
