The Ellerslie,
Waverly Hall & Cataula VFD's visit Pine Ridge Elementary
The
Ellerslie VFD, in conjunction with the Waverly Hall VFD and the
Cataula VFD, visited Pine Ridge Elementary School in Ellerslie
to discuss the October 2005 National Fire Safety Week campaign
"Candle Safety".
Ellerslie Fire Chief Scott Davis visited classrooms to speak
about fire safety as firefighters Greg Cole and Kyle Senette
demonstrate their turn out gear and equipment. Students received
a tour of the fire trucks from firefighter Jason Bridges, who
also hosted student questions and answer sessions. The EVFD
provided goodie bags for grades 3-5 and Tot Finder safety decals
for students in Pre-K through 5th grade to display in their
homes.
Local State Farm Insurance agent, Byron Daniel, came by to teach
the students how to dial 911 in an emergency. Junior Firefighter
Justin Davis donned the State Farm Good Neigh-Bear costume to
the delight of Pine Ridge kindergarteners and 1st graders.
Junior firefighter Stephanie Davis helped out by distributing
information to teachers and by assembling and passing out 'State
Farm Bear Ears' headbands for the students to wear.
Waverly Hall VFD and Cataula VFD also visited classrooms, gave
truck tours, answered questions and passed out goodies. We
appreciate their goodwill and support.
