Upper Saddle River, N.J. — October 22 — Members of the Upper Saddle River Fire Department visited Bogert School to conduct a fire drill and fire safety assembly, marking the department's final fire prevention activity for the month.
Firefighter/EMT Seay and Lieutenant/EMT Shapiro led the safety presentation, giving students and staff an opportunity to review important fire safety practices. Both firefighters are Bogert School alumni and had the opportunity to return to their former school to share their knowledge with some of their former teachers.
The visit highlighted the importance of school fire drills, emergency preparedness and fire prevention education. By working directly with students and school staff, firefighters reinforced the need to understand evacuation procedures and respond properly during an emergency.
The department's participation also showed the value of community outreach in helping residents develop safe habits and understand the work of local emergency services.
