This week the city of Lincoln
Fire Department kicked off a month of activities to promote fire
safety. The department has classroom visits scheduled to run
throughout the month, a special breakfast at the firehouse this
coming Monday, and four special kids will get to ride to school in a
fire truck.
Thursday, the first student to
ride in a fire truck was Bryce Conner. Bryce lives in Atlanta
and attends Carroll Catholic School in Lincoln. He won the
honor of riding in the fire truck by being the kindergarten winner
of the annual fire safety poster contest.
Because Bryce lives out of
town, he got an extra-special ride. He was first picked up in
Atlanta in the fire department's SUV. Bret Tripplett drove
Bryce and his brother, Aiden, who is also a student at Carroll
Catholic, to the Masonic Temple on the north edge of Lincoln. There they were met by Lt. Ty Johnson and firefighter A.J. Weakly
in the big fire truck.
The two boys were then driven
to school.
