Janie Howard Wilson Elementary first graders are fired up about fire safety after a special training last month from Polk County Firefighter Kent Van Hook.
Students learned about the importance of smoke alarms, ways to prevent fires, and how to escape a house fire. All the students received a firefighter hat, smoke alarm bracelet, and fire safety worksheet from the Polk County Fire Department.
