During Fire Prevention Week, the fire department staff takes the Fire Prevention Program to Southwestern School district. Over the past couple of years we have partnered with our mutual aid departments. Brighton, Medora and Shipman have been working together to get the children of our school districts the best information to make sure they are safe. Our Fire Prevention Programs includes: Age appropriate training for each class regarding what to do in an emergency or in the event of a fire, Provide tour and training in the Smoke Trailer, Teach the children the 5 things never to play with (stoves, matches, fire places, lighters, and candles) Reminders to have grown ups to change batteries in smoke detectors and CO (carbon monoxide) detectors and to test each unit on a monthly basis. Our newest member to the fire department staff is SPARKY the Fire Dog! Sparky visits schools and a variety of other fire dept. functions. Sparky sings, dances, and is a HUGE part of the fire prevention team.
