Kindergartners learn fire safety

Maple Lake kindergartners made their annual trek to the Maple Lake Fire Department Wednesday, Oct. 6 in honor of National Fire Prevention Week. Students were familiarized with fire fighting equipment including the suits fire fighters wear and their breathing apparatus that can sometimes sound scary during an emergency. Above, volunteer fireman Landon Caughey gave fist-bumps while wearing all his gear to show students that fire fighters aren’t scary, they are there to help.
