BELLMORE, NY — Kindergarten classes at Reinhard Early Childhood Center visited local firefighters at the Bellmore Firehouse throughout October to learn fire safety tips during Fire Prevention Month.

Former Chief Tom Stoerger taught fire safety tips, including staying low to the ground when there is smoke, checking a door to see if it's hot, and listening to a fire alarm.
