Fire Safety Volunteers
October 25, 2016
Wilcox students recently volunteered at Hanover Elementary School in order for all the kids to participate in Hanover’s Fire Safety Day. There are several spanish speaking students at the elementary school and our Wilcox volunteers were able to translate for them during the safety day. Nashali Barrios, Sabrina Baez, and Isaac Vargas, joined Fire Safety Officer Thomas Stange in the event which allowed the students to view Engine 11 fire trucks, fire equipment, uniforms and also “escape” from a smokehouse. The smokehouse simulates what happens to a home when a fire errupts. Officer Stange completed a presentation in the school’s library with help from our Wilcox volunteers and Wrinkles the Safety pup. When the day was complete students were treated to a pizza party and explored the fire engines!
