Today we had a visit from Firefighter J who taught us 5 very important things about staying safe in a fire: Girls and Boys can be firefighters and police officers Firefighters are friends to us  Call 911 whenever you need help When you see a fire....get out and stay out Don't hide during a fire or be afraid of what a firefighter looks like in full gear and a breathing mask And he also reinforced to always wear a helmet when on a bike, trike, scooter, hoverboard or anything else.  Here are some pictures from the visit......
