Students Of William Rall Explore Fire Safety

LINDENHURST, NY - From Lindenhurst Union Free School District: Members of the North Lindenhurst Fire Department visited students at William Rall Elementary School to discuss fire safety. Students attended a brief assembly, where they viewed a video on the importance of smoke detectors and creating a family fire exit plan.

Students then proceeded to the school parking lot, where a “smoke house” and large fire truck were waiting. The smoke house is a trailer designed to show students what to do in the event of a fire. Fake smoke, imitating a real fire, appeared from the house. Students were shown how to make a safe escape by dropping to their knees, getting to the nearest door and exiting promptly. Following the smoke house tour, students explored the fire truck as the volunteers explained the purpose of each tool.
