ARNOLDSBURG LIGHTS ON! - Thank You Arnoldsburg Firefighters

(02/06/2003)

Dan Cosgrove On Tuesday, February 4, the Arnoldsburg's After School Program was visited by the local fire department. Members of the Arnoldsburg Fire Department brought two trucks and all the gear used to fight fires. Assistant Chief Joe Tanner, Captain Justin Metheney and fire fighter Derek Wright gave valuable lessons to the students in case of a fire. Arnoldsburg Fire Department's Captain (and our own Lights On! Tutor) Justin Metheney demonstrates putting on breakout gear. Helping is fire fighter Derek Wright (kneeling) and Assistant Chief Joe Tanner Firefighters demonstrate what it might look like during a fire as they crawl through a house. Volunteers were chosen to yell for help until they were rescued. Many children get scared and hide under beds during a fire. Students were told never to hide and not be afraid. What could be a scary sight for children turned into a fun experience that hopefully will be remembered if such a time or need arises Justin showing the art of fighting fires
