On September 18, the Hauppauge Fire Department visited Bretton Woods Elementary to teach students important fire safety tips.
Students learned how to make a fire escape plan, what to do if their clothes caught on fire, and how to stay safe in a smoke-filled room. The firefighters also explained why it’s important to call 9-1-1 and never go back into a burning building.
One exciting moment was when a firefighter put on his full uniform, showing students what they look and sound like in action. Students got to ask questions and check out the gear up close, making it a hands-on learning experience.
It was a fun and educational day that gave students important skills to stay safe in an emergency.
