Fire Department talks about fire safety to Sheriff’s Office Junior Deputy Academy class

Junior Deputy Academy participants get to see the Fire Rescue truck, its equipment and hear explanation of what it is used for.

Children are shown how a car can be lifted to rescue someone.

The fourth week of the Sheriff’s Office Junior Deputy Academy for children 10-13 saw representatives from the Fire Department come to discuss fire safety.

They discussed what to do in a fire and the safe way to get out. The class got to look at a fire truck up-close. They also got to look at one of the rescue squads and see all the equipment the Fire Department carries.
Firefighters also showed the class how they pick up a car using air bags and also brought the department’s smoke house for the kids to go through, showing them how to get to the ground during a fire and get out to avoid smoke inhalation.

The Junior Deputy Academy continues each week through graduation on July 20.
