Bella Vista Fire Department

We were to invited to visit the Montessori school on Wednesday, October 15^th and were welcomed with the smiles of some of Bella Vista's cutest kiddos at the Montessori School in Bella Vista. They were eager to learn and asked us so many questions as we taught them about Seemore the Smoke detector, stop-drop-&-roll, and other important safety practices in the home. They were able to practice these drills and touch the fire gear and truck equipment. They also had a chance to see, touch and play with a real firefighter in all of his gear. This helped many of the kids become less nervous about the sometimes intimidating view of a fully equipped fireman in search of lives to save.
