Fire Safety and Info with GFD, May 2nd

GEPTA, in collaboration with the Gloversville Fire Department, is excited to announce the upcoming Fire Safety Day, an engaging and informative event specifically designed for our elementary families! This special day provides a unique opportunity for children to experience firsthand the impressive sight of a real fire truck, allowing them to explore its various features and understand the vital role it plays in keeping our community safe. In addition to this hands-on experience, attendees will have the chance to interact with the dedicated community helpers from the Gloversville Fire Department, who are eager to share their knowledge and expertise in fire safety.

During the event, the firefighters will present valuable information and practical tips for families on how to ensure fire safety within their homes. This will include guidance on creating effective escape plans, understanding the importance of smoke alarms, and recognizing potential fire hazards in everyday life. With interactive demonstrations and engaging discussions, families will leave with a greater awareness of how to protect themselves and their loved ones from fire-related dangers.

Moreover, as part of our commitment to enhancing community safety, we are thrilled to announce that we will be distributing FREE smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors to attendees. These essential devices are crucial in providing early warnings in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide leak, and we encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity to equip their homes with these life-saving tools. Together, we can foster a safer environment for everyone in our community. Join us for this informative and fun-filled day, and let’s work together to promote fire safety awareness!
