News from the Lion's Den Preschool

Recently, the preschool children were treated to a visit from members of the Leo #1 Fire Department in Red Lion.  Chief Tim Mooney taught the children about the importance of smoke detectors, how to call 911, and if there is a fire in their house to “get out and stay out”.  He and fellow fire department member Earl Urey showed and explained the various pieces of clothing and equipment that a firefighter must wear.  The preschoolers then went outside where firefighter Dylan Oliver explained the many pieces of equipment that are used on the fire truck.  The children were in awe when Chief Mooney went way up high in the bucket.  None of the children were interested in going up in the bucket, but a few were treated to having their picture taken when it was safely on the ground.  All in all, it was a day the preschoolers won’t soon forget!
