Fire+Prevention+Week

=__ Prevention Week at Rommelt __ =

We had fire prevention activities on October 9, 2009. All of the firefighters from South Williamsport, DuBoistown, and Nisbet helped us with fire prevention. One of the activities was the smoke tent. The smoke tent works by heating liquid in a heating device that makes smoke that’s not harmful. Fire Prevention is in October because the Great Chicago Fire was in October, 1871. It wiped out the whole city in two days on October 8 and 9. The firemen do fire prevention for other groups like Central Elementary, Paddington Station, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and for adults. __By Tiana Pfirman, Olivia Murray, and Jamie Camp__
