Deauville Gardens Elementary School students in the Copiague School District recently received a lesson in fire safety from members of the Copiague Fire Department during fire safety month, October. The firefighters spoke to the students about the importance of being alert and prepared if caught in a fire, invited up student volunteers to show the correct procedures for “stop, drop, and roll,” and reinforced the importance of properly-working smoke detectors and practicing fire drills at home. A firefighter dressed up in his full gear, including oxygen tank, so that students could see what a fireman would look like in a fire. Additionally, Deauville Gardens kindergarteners visited the firehouse on Great Neck Road to receive a tour of the facility.
