Today, Harristown firefighters had the pleasure of visiting the students at Sangamon Valley Primary School for our annual Fire Prevention Week visit!

This year, we brought a little something extra for the kids and our friend Doc Patterson joined us with his fun puppet and magic show, giving the students an entertaining and memorable way to learn about fire safety and fire prevention.

We believe some of the most important lessons are the ones that are learned while having fun! The kids had a great time, and we were thrilled to see so many smiles while learning how to stay safe around fire.

A big thank you to the staff and students at Sangamon Valley Primary School for having us back again this year!

🚒 Stay safe, stay fire smart! 🔥
