DES embraces fire safety week

 

During Fire Safety Week in October, students in Mrs. Minute's Kindergarten class received a visit from fire fighters in the Duanesburg Fire Department. Students listened to a lesson from fire fighters on the dangers of fires, how to help prevent them and what to do in case of a fire. Some students even donned the fire fighters' protective gear and helmets, but seemed to enjoy the toy fire hats that they were given for being good students and participating in fire safety. Students colored in pictures of fire department badges, talked about what an evacuation plan is, and asked fire fighters many questions. Ask you child about his or her visit with Duanesburg's heroes!
