Fire Prevention Week 2002 - Kossman School
Firefighters from Schooleys Mountain
visit the Kossman school each year to teach Kindergarten and First Grade
students the importance of fire safety and fire prevention. While they may have
been most interested in the fire apparatus and equipment, there were many other
important lessons taught. We hope residents take the time to review these
important lessons now and in the future, as fire safety is a year-round lesson.
Dont play with fire or hot objects
How to call 9-1-1 in an emergency
Stop, Drop and Roll if your clothes catch fire
Know Two Ways Out and have a common meeting place
Crawl low in smoke and heat
Use, understand and test smoke detectors

highlights of the visit:
