In recognition of National Fire Safety Week, elementary school students throughout the District have been learning about fire safety with trips to the local firehouse and school assemblies.
Verne W. Critz Elementary School students took a trip to the Hagerman Fire Department in Patchogue, where they learned about the importance of smoke detectors, kitchen safety, how to call 911 and creating home escape routes. The students also sprayed a fire hose, sat in a fire truck and executed an escape from the Fire Safety trailer.
