In observance of Fire Prevention Month, elementary students across the Freeport School District received a special visit from members of the Freeport Fire Department.

During the interactive presentations, firefighters shared essential lessons about fire prevention, emergency preparedness, and home safety. Students had the opportunity to explore fire equipment, learn about the importance of smoke detectors, and understand what to do in case of an emergency.

These engaging demonstrations reinforced important safety messages while helping students build trust and familiarity with their local first responders. The district extended its gratitude to the Freeport Fire Department for its continued partnership and dedication to keeping the community safe.
