The City of Negaunee Fire Department and the Negaunee Township Fire/EMS Department will be partnering up during Fire Prevention week which is held from October 9th-15th.
Both Departments will be visiting Lakeview Elementary School as well as Negaunee Middle School on October 11th to oversee each school as they complete a fire drill.
The Negaunee City Fire Department will then hand out free smoke detectors (that the Negaunee Firefighters Association budgets for yearly) to the kindergarten students at Lakeview Elementary.
While handing out the smoke detectors, firefighters will give a brief explanation of “Operation E.D.I.T.H.” (Exit Drills in the Home), and how to safely exit a building in the event there is a fire emergency.
The Negaunee Township Fire/EMS Department will have the opportunity to set up their Fire Extinguisher Demonstration for the 6th Grade Class at Negaunee Middle School.
Our goal is to not only prevent fires, but to teach students as many tips as possible to prevent them from becoming injured in the unfortunate event they are faced with a fire emergency.
