On Oct. 29, the Amityville Fire Department held an interactive lesson on fire safety at Northwest Elementary School.

In conjunction with Fire Prevention Month, students gathered in the school’s gymnasium as firefighters held a presentation to discuss fire and emergency protocol at home. After the presentation, students walked to the school’s main parking lot where they got see an actual fire engine truck, a ladder truck, and an ambulance.

With assistance getting in and out, they entered each vehicle, walked around it and learned about the tools, equipment and uniforms that are used to put out a fire.
