The Argonia 1st graders walked down to the fire station in town to learn about fire safety. Garred Sellers and Jon Layton talked to the students about fire prevention week and what it means. The firemen showed the students a smoke alarm and what it sounds like if there should be a fire in their homes. They discussed matches, lighters and what to do if they should find these items.

The kids had the chance to demonstrate stop, drop, and roll with the firemen. They did an excellent job. Jon showed the students what he looked like in his fire suit. The firemen talked to the students about not being scared when a fire fighter comes in to save them during a fire.

The kids were excited when they had the chance to spray the fire hose and then ride the fire truck back to the school.  Firemen Sellers and Layton handed out fire prevention coloring books, pencils, and bracelets.
