Fire Safety Month

As you may know, October is Fire Safety Month.  We were lucky to get 2 visits from Papillion Fire this past week.  On Monday, the fire department brought out several vehicles for us to tour and talked with us about how they use the vehicles in an emergency.  Then on Tuesday afternoon, we got a special visit from Firefighter Borden, Mrs. Borden's husband who is a fire fighter in Papillion.  He spoke to us about fire safety and showed us the gear that he wears to keep himself safe.  He even had Mrs. Miglini dress up in it, which the kids thought was great!  He also challenged all of our 2nd grade families to conduct a home fire drill during this month.  In the event of an emergency, does your family know where to meet?  Take a few minutes one night and conduct a fire drill so that you can be assured that everyone knows what to do.  Papillion Fire Department would love to have everyone join them tomorrow, Sunday October 13th for a free pancake breakfast and fire safety instructions.  It is being held at 146 N. Adams St in Papillion from 8-1 am.  Hope to see you there!
