Wow, did we have fun today at our annual Fire & EMS Demonstration Day at Perry Heights Middle School! Each year, to wrap up the school year, we spend a day with the 7th graders, giving them hands-on experience in the Fire & EMS Service. Students got to spray fire hoses, use extrication equipment, learn CPR, meet Fire Dog Kia, and watch a demonstration on why you never pour water on a grease fire.It’s always a great day of learning, teamwork, and, hopefully, inspiring future firefighters, EMS providers, and community leaders!
