OLS Fire safety
Students at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School learn about fire safety and prevention during a visit from the Homewood Fire Department during Fire Safety Prevention Week in October.
The Homewood Fire Department paid a visit to Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic School during Fire Prevention Week in October.
The visit was geared toward teaching students about fire safety and prevention. Students in third, fourth and fifth grade learned about smoke alarms through this year’s theme, “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm.”
Homewood Fire Department Battalion Chief Lori Stoney and Montevallo Fire Department Fire Marshal Brandon Broadhead led a fire safety talk and allowed students to tour the fire truck. Students also experienced the Smokehouse Fire Safety Trailer, where they were taught how to escape a smoke-filled room.
