Photos: Preschoolers get lesson in how firefighters save lives

By Howard B. Owens

Members of the Town of Batavia Fire Department stopped by Grandma's Luv'n Care on Clinton Street Road on Thursday afternoon to help educate the children there about how they save lives and prevent fires.

Oct. 9 through 15 is Fire Prevention Week and departments throughout the county are taking part in similar education and outreach programs.

At the child-care center today, Assistant Chief Nate Fix (top photo, right) and firefighter David Tran (bottom photo) showed the children what firefighting gear is and Tran suited up so the children can learn that a firefighter in their house during an emergency isn't a scary monster, but a friend there to help them.

Earlier in the day, the volunteers were at GCC's child-care center. They've made similar presentations at BOCES and will be at Lucky Duck Day Care next week.

Howard, get your ass back over there and take a picture of Chris's kid. I'll bet money she is cute as a bug. You don't always have to follow Obama's orders. Don't you have a heart? After you follow my orders e-mail a copy to Chris and me. Now get back to work you slacker.
We should probably fire Howie, he slacks off on the weekends and we need him 24-7-365 for no extra pay.
