Schools across the area are getting visits from local firefighters this time of year to promote fire safety. But what about home schoolers? Home schoolers in Lenoir County got together today for their own visit from the fire department. Kinston dispatched a truck to the Fairfield Recreation Center where students saw firefighters climb the ladder. Besides fire safety, the children also learned not to be afraid of someone who sounds a little like Darth Vader.
"When you have a fire in your house you don't hide under your bed, you go to the firefighter and ask him for help."
"I learned if you're on fire you should stop, drop, and roll."
What was the most fun out here?
"Seeing the ladder go up."
"Going into the fire truck."
Why?
"Because I've never been in a fire truck and it looks kinda cool."
Fire departments welcome people who want to learn about fire safety. Call your local department to set up an appointment.
