Lincoln Fire
Department was very busy in October spreading the word about fire
safety to all the schools in the Lincoln area. Firefighters attended
grade pre-k through 3rd grade and had safety talks about exit drills
in the home, smoke detectors, stop drop and roll and then all
students participated in actual exit drills in the "Stay Alive
House". Our winners of the poster contest were give fire truck rides
to school and we want to thank all the area businesses that proudly
showed off all the posters we received for fire safety month. Our
new coloring books were a hit and I must say Chief Miller looks
swell and I have received many complement on the books thank you
Lincoln Daily News for helping and all of the sponsors. Our Day at
the Firehouse was again a success with pancakes and sausage always
being a hit. The 3rd graders from North-West had a great tour and
used the fire hose to be firefighters for the day while controlling
flames at the Squirt House.
