Montpelier Fire Station

On Wednesday our class took the first community field trip to the Montpelier Fire Station. We learned about the work that is done in the fire station and had a chance to explore inside a fire truck. October is Fire Prevention Month. The firefighters wanted us to remember to change the batteries in our household smoke alarms two times a year (daylight savings time may be a helpful way to remember) to be sure they are working properly. Also, to make a plan with your children in the case of an emergency. Practice that plan like we practice fire drills at school, and don't forget that if you ever have a fire at your house, "get out and stay out"!
