YHFD Volunteers provided students and staff with: -fire safety tips -how to properly call 9-1-1 during an emergency -EDITH (Exit Drills In The Home) fire safety education - interacting with a firefighter in full turnout gear and SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) and lastly, a tour of Engine 272 and it’s equipment. A great event and opportunity to get out in the community with our partners from the Yorktown Police Department, Yorktown Volunteer Ambulance Corps Inc. and Yorktown Highway Department!
