Levittown Students Learn How to Be 'Fire Safe'

The Levittown Fire Department recently visited J. Fred Sparke School in Levittown during Fire Prevention Week.  

Students in kindergarten and first grade learned how to be “fire safe". The boys and girls learned about escape plans, meeting places, smoke detectors and dialing 911 in an emergency. 

Students also practiced the “stop, drop and roll” technique to quickly smother the flames on their clothing, and about the apparatus found on a fire truck.  A visit from Freddy the fire dog was a highlight of the program.  

The Fire Safety Program educates the children in the steps to take in the event a fire occurs. The Sparke boys and girls thank the firefighters who volunteered their time to teach them about fire safety.  

As part of the Fire Safety Program, the children created fire safety posters for the Levittown Fire Departments’ Poster Contest.  Jack McHugh was the winner among all first graders in the Levittown Fire District.
