Firefighters from Sandy Hook Volunteer Fire & Rescue spent Friday, October 12, at Sandy Hook School. Nearing the end of Fire Prevention Week, it was a time for students of all grades to learn about fire safety for themselves and their homes, as well as see some of the tools used by firefighters. Five members of the company arrived at the school for a fire drill Friday morning, and then spent the remainder of the day presenting programs geared to the different age levels. Students listened to presentations by Engineer Rob Sibley — seen here showing one group a thermal camera, while Firefighters Pete Barresi and Erica Knapp look on — and were then encouraged to ask questions. Each group was also given time to meet the firefighters and then headed outdoors for a few minutes to see (and, when the rain stopped, go through) Engine 442, one of Sandy Hook’s pumpers.
