The Scotch Plains Fire Department visited the elementary schools as part of Fire Safety Week and talked about fire safety and fire prevention.
Students had the opportunity to see a fireman in his full uniform, tour the fire truck, and see the ladder truck in action. The firefighters explained the equipment they carry and the importance of doing fire drills in their schools. They also encouraged the children to ask their parents to do a fire drill at home.
