Kennedy students learn about fire prevention

The Nanticoke Fire Department recently visited the Kennedy Early Childhood Center in the Greater Nanticoke Area School District. Firefighter Chandler Prymowicz talked with students about having two ways out of a room, making an exit plan, smoke alarms, crawling under smoke, calling 911, and stop, drop and roll. Firefighters put on their protective gear so the children could see and hear what a firefighter looks and sounds like up close. Students also visited the “Smokehouse,” where they practiced walking, crawling and climbing out of a simulated house fire.
