In the classroom, myself, instructors Christine Jones and Jason Hansen have other lessons to teach. There arc discussions discussions about making a fire escape plan . from the home, learning to test the workability of smoke detectors and babysitting fire safety. As well there is an activity where instructors instructors use simulated smoke to teach the students how to properly exit a smoke filled room and another where we teach them how to use a fire extinguisher. Demonstrating the skills of a firefighter, the program teaches segments on first aid techniques, equipment, tours of the trucks as well as search and rescue games. There arc also activities where students arc given replicated replicated fire gear of their own and shown how to use the fire hoses. At the end of the week, students after completing completing the lessons and activities, arc given a cer tificate.
