In honor of fire prevention month, firefighters from the Bohemia Fire Department visited Sycamore Avenue Elementary School in the Connetquot Central School District to teach students an important lesson on fire safety.
Sycamore Avenue Elementary students learned about fire safety during a special presentation from the Bohemia Fire Department and met a firefighter.
The presentation began with a video titled, “Safety Smart,” explaining to the students what causes fires, the importance of installing smoke alarms in their homes, how to make an escape plan and more. Firefighters then urged students to make a fire safety and escape plan with their parents or guardians at home.
The Bohemia Fire Department showed students what a firefighter looks like in their full gear during the fire safety presentation at Sycamore Avenue Elementary School.
Two Bohemia Fire Department firefighters then donned their full uniforms giving students a chance to see what a real-life firefighter looks and sounds like when wearing their helmet and gear. Students then met and spoke to the firefighters.
The presentation culminated with a question and answer session before materials on fire safety were passed out for each student to bring home.
