A Message from the Blair Volunteer Fire and Rescue:

733 KIDS. ONE WEEK. COUNTLESS LESSONS IN FIRE SAFETY! What a week it has been for Blair Volunteer Fire & Rescue!

Throughout Fire Prevention Week, our firefighters and EMTs have been busy visiting schools across Blair, teaching 733 kids about the importance of fire prevention and what to do in the event of an emergency! From learning about smoke alarms and escape plans to seeing our firefighters in full turnout gear, we had an AWESOME time sharing important, potentially lifesaving lessons with the next generation! And judging by the smiles, laughs, and excitement, we think the kids had just as much fun as we did!

A HUGE THANK YOU to Firefighter/EMT Steve Howard, who has been leading our department's fire prevention education efforts for an incredible 45 YEARS! His dedication to educating generations of Blair students is something truly special!

We also want to thank all of our firefighters and EMTs who took time out of their busy schedules to help with this week's visits, along with the teachers, staff, and schools who welcomed us into their classrooms!

733 kids reached this week means 733 more kids equipped with knowledge that could one day save a life. That's what Fire Prevention Week is all about!

Remember, fire safety doesn't stop when Fire Prevention Week ends! Take some time to talk with your family about fire safety, test your smoke alarms, and practice your home escape plan.

Thank you, Blair, for another fantastic Fire Prevention Week!
