October 20, 2025 — Firefighters from the Willowvale Fire Company joined their neighbors from the New Hartford Fire Department on Monday to deliver Fire Prevention Education at Hughes Elementary School.

Students learned important lessons about fire safety, prevention, and emergency preparedness, including how to respond if a fire occurs and the importance of having a family escape plan.

Firefighters also demonstrated their gear and equipment, helping children understand that firefighters — even when fully suited — are there to help keep them safe.

“It’s always a privilege to teach our youngest community members about fire safety,” the department said. “We’re proud to work together to protect and educate the next generation.”
