Campbellsport Firefighters Bring Fire Safety Lessons to St. Matthew’s First-Graders

The visit connected classroom lessons with real-world demonstrations. Students learned about firefighters’ responsibilities, the equipment they use and the importance of being prepared when emergencies occur.

During their visit to the Campbellsport Fire Department, students had an opportunity to see the station’s ambulance and firefighting equipment. The experience helped them understand how different tools and vehicles are used to respond to emergencies and assist people in need.

The visit also gave students a chance to take part in a hands-on activity. Some were able to spray a fire hose at a simulated house and put out artificial flames, offering a practical demonstration of how firefighters use water to control fires.

Fire Safety Week provides an opportunity for schools and emergency services to introduce children to fire prevention and emergency response. Activities like the visit help young students become more familiar with the people and equipment involved in keeping their community safe.
