Palmyra, N.Y. — October 23 —As part of the "Future Ready with First Responders" initiative, Palmyra Fire Department firefighters toured nearby elementary schools this week. Students at UPK gained knowledge about home safety, fire safety, and what firemen do to keep the community safe.
Students investigated firefighting equipment, took a tour of the fire vehicles, and practiced fundamental safety procedures like stop-drop-and-roll. The initiative improved relationships between young learners and first responders and emphasized the value of early fire safety instruction.
