Friday, October 9 members of the Eureka City and County volunteer Fire Department came to Marshall Elementary to give the First and Second grades a Fire Safety program. The students were given a presentation. One of the highlights of the presentation was seeing a real firefighter in his gear and learning that they need to yell as loud as they can if they are in a fire as the firefighters can't hear that well in their gear. They were placed in a simulation trailer which demonstrated a smoke filled room and what a firefighter sounds like with their gear and air tanks on so that if they were in a real fire they would not be afraid of the firefighter. Students were shown all the fire trucks and allowed to "drive" the fire truck! The firefighter gave each student a treat bag and firefighter hat! Thanks so much Eureka City and County Firefighters!!!
