Nature: Fire Prevention Initiatives

Location: Long Neck Elementary School

On Tuesday, October 8th, the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company in collaboration with the Long Neck Elementary School continued with the annual fire prevention program offering fire prevention educational and safety initiatives to enhance fire safety and prevention awareness.

These activities commenced with an apparatus synopsis as well as hose handling activities at the school location and fire target suppression as well as an opportunity for the grade specific children to see a fire truck up close and review of tools and equipment for fire suppression.

Each group of children evaluated and reviewed the apparatus with a brief presentation regarding the operational need and purpose of the equipment and apparatus.  Each classroom was provided grade specific publications to reinforce the fire safety topics and discussions.

Illustrated herewith are few photographs to highlight the events of the day.

The Indian River Volunteer Fire Company hereby expresses its gratitude and appreciation for coordinating such an event.
