In honor of Fire Prevention Month, local fire departments visited elementary schools across Sachem to teach students fire safety tips and how to stay safe during emergency situations. The Holbrook and Holtsville fire departments delivered engaging presentations where they demonstrated how to stop, drop and roll, showed how a firefighter looks with their equipment on and shared the importance of an emergency plan and meeting place.

The first responders then gave students a tour of some of the emergency vehicles they see on the road. Students checked out fire trucks and ambulances, and got a firsthand look at the tools used by emergency responders. The educational and interactive visit emphasized the importance of safety and introduced students to first responders within their own communities.
