Students share fire safety skills
Firefighters from the Everett Fire Department in November visited Lowell Elementary School for Fire Safety Day. Students learned about smoke detectors, fire escape plans and getting out of their homes safely in emergencies. Students went outside to the “smoke trailer” where firefighters showed them how to stay low in smoke to escape safely from a burning building.
Students then created posters to teach others what they learned about fire safety. The top three posters are now being displayed in the community.
Firefighters judged the posters for content and creativity. Third-grader Lily Brebner won first place, and fourth-graders Anisah Barrientes and Tom Hong were runners-up. Classes that saw all students bring back completed evacuation plans from home were treated to ice cream by the Everett Firefighters Association.
