SEMINOLE COUNTY, FL - The Seminole County Fire Department (SCFD) supported Seminole County Public Schools’ Teach-In Day on November 14, 2023 throughout all of Seminole County Public schools. Teach-In Day highlights the importance of bringing together teachers, school staff, parents, students and communities in a unified effort to build great public schools.

SCFD will send units and personnel out to more than a dozen events that day.

Firefighters visited nearly a dozen local schools. At Midway Elementary School of the Arts in Sanford, the Fire Prevention Team brought the Fire Safety Trailer so that all the kindergarten classes could experience fire safety lessons, as well as some 4th and 5th grade classes. In total, more than 400 students were reached at Midway.

In addition, firefighters visited Seminole High School in partnership with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. military for a “Get Informed About Uniforms” recruitment event.
