Firefighter educators visited 39 Springfield public and private elementary schools, reaching over 10,000 children during October’s Fire Prevention Month.
Firefighters taught age-appropriate fire safety lessons to preschoolers through fifth-graders. Over 2,600 smoke alarm surveys were returned to the Fire Department. From these surveys, 12 children were randomly chosen to receive a ride to school in a fire engine. Thank you to our firefighters, school systems, parents, and children for making Fire Prevention Month a success!
