"Fire Safety House" Visits North Elementary AYS Program
Leslie Hankins

The “Fire Safety House” visited the AYS program at North Elementary to teach the students about fire safety. The trailer, sponsored by the fire departments of Noblesville, Westfield, Fishers, Cicero, and Jackson Township and Delta Theta Tau Sorority, Inc., has a living room, kitchen, and bedroom where students learn about fire safety and prevention. A mailbox outside the trailer serves as a meeting place when the “house” fills with simulated smoke and a smoke detector prompts the children to exit to safety.

During the tour of the trailer, students learned important emergency numbers and the importance of having a plan in case of a fire at home. More importantly, the students received valuable tips on preventing fires.
