WESTPORT, Conn. — January 23rd: Kindergarten children from Learning Community Day School were invited by members of the Town of Westport Fire Department to participate in a fire safety and station visit with an emphasis on community outreach and education. Students learned about firefighters, fundamental safety principles, and the tools used in emergency response during the tour.
