Colleton County Fire-Rescue
3/14/2009
The annual Safe Kids Fair was
held Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14 March at the National Guard Armory.
Friday was very active with all public school third graders visiting
each of the exhibits. Fire-Rescue conducted one of about sixteen
exhibits to teach the children about safety in their daily lives. Engine
19, Medic 19 and Medic 27 were on display, which allowed the children to
tour and ask questions about both an Engine and Ambulance. On
Saturday the Fire Safety house was on display with firefighters
conducting safely classes throughout the morning. Due to poor weather
conditions, Saturday had a low turnout from the public. The Fire Safety
House was not used Friday, since all third graders went through the prop
during fire safety education in October. Other displays included live animals, Walterboro Police, DNR, Safelite, Lifenet Medical Helicopter, Coastal Electric, SCE&G, K&K Motorcycles, Colleton Medical Center, Seeing eye dog, bike safety, school bus safety and drug awareness. The event is conducted annually by the Colleton Safe Kids Coalition through Colleton Medical Center. |
