Fire prevention week.
Smokey made a visit to New Story in Dubois Pa.
He made a big(tall) impression with the students of not playing with matches and lighters.
He also emphasized telling an adult if you see anyone being careless.
Special Thanks to Specialized Crew member Jay Gafford and Warden Larry Bickel.
