We offer safety presentations through the Physical Education Classes. A team of firefighters delivers interactive, hands-on safety presentations to each grade level classroom during their scheduled PE specials time. We typically visit each school for two to three days to meet with all students. Each grade level receives a customized presentation addressing fire, bike, pedestrian or motor vehicle safety. Our goal is to visit schools each year to keep in front of students and build on our curriculum.
