Old Forge Fire Chief Charlie Bogardus and volunteer firefighters Larry Ventura and Anne Rundell visited Town of Webb School students in grades kindergarten through fifth on Wednesday, October 8 as part of National Fire Prevention Week.
Chief Bogardus talked to the children about the dangers of handling matches and cigarette lighters, the importance of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and what to do in case of a fire emergency, specifically how to dial 911.
He also demonstrated how to Stop, Drop and Roll if there is fire or smoke in the house.
Materials on fire prevention were distributed to the children to take home and share with their parents.
Each teacher was also given a smoke detector to raffle off to the students.
