Exeter -Milligan Students Attend Fire Prevention Event

The Exeter Volunteer Fire Department sponsored a Fire
Prevention Awareness event at the Exeter-Milligan school in Exeter on
Wednesday, October 9. State Fire Deputy Marshall Ray Nance brought his
Fire Safety Education trailer and all of the kindergarten through sixth grade
students had the opportunity to learn about fire prevention.
Nance travels throughout the state with the trailer doing
programs on fire prevention and safety, “The key thing we want to get out to
the kids is prevention.”
During the morning sessions, the students got to see a
presentation from Nance in the trailer and then they were treated to rides on
the Exeter Fire Department equipment along with a tour of the rescue
unit. The fire department also passed out hats, refillable water bottles
and snacks.
Nance used some of the audience members to help him demonstrate
kitchen safety, putting out a pot that is on fire and also the proper use of
some kitchen appliances. The students got to watch as one volunteer made
a fire emergency call to 911 with a dispatcher on the other end of the
line. It was a good lesson for the students to know the correct
information they need to share with an emergency dispatcher.
The students also had the opportunity to escape from the
trailer after it was filled with fake smoke. This stimulation helped the
students understand how difficult it is to escape from a home that is during a
fire emergency. During each session a student was purposely left behind
and Exeter’s assistant fire chief Jacob Miller suited up and “rescued” the
student out of the smoke filled trailer.
“The biggest message I want to give to parents is to
practice at home. Just because your kids do a fire drill at school
doesn’t mean you don’t need to do one at home. You have to make sure that
all of your rooms have working windows that operate. There are many older
homes and windows can be painted shut. You have to make sure that kids
can open them to get access outside,” explained Nance.
Nance also uses Deputy Dan, his ventriloquist dummy, to
share fire safety tips with the students before performing his favorite fire
prevention rap. Nance shares about some of the fire dangers that are
found in the home like candles, space heaters and extension cords.
Sam's Club in Lincoln sponsored the snacks for the event.
Exeter Junior Fire Patrol Learns about Fire Extinguishers
One of the key tools that the Exeter Volunteer Fire
Department uses to fight arson among young people is the Junior Fire Patrol
program. Four nights during the month of October the fifth grade students
at Exeter-Milligan school are invited to learn all about fire prevention and
fire fighting tools at the Exeter Fire Department. During their meeting
on Tuesday, October 8th the participants got a lesson on fire
extinguishers from Nebraska State Deputy Fire Marshall Ray Nance. They
learned how the chemicals work to put out a fire, and how to properly employ
them in dousing a fire. Pictured are Deputy Fire Marshall Ray Nance, jr
fire patrol candidates Jackson Beethe, Jaiden Papik (middle) and Georgia Meyer.
