Last week, the West Haven Fire Department taught Washington 3rd and 4th graders how to get out of their homes quickly and safely in case of a fire. Students practiced staying low to get to safety in WHFD’s smoke (fog) trailer, which looked like a mini living room and kitchen, as fog was created to mimic smoke. Students responded to hearing the smoke detector and crawled out. WHFD also reminded students of the importance of having a working smoke detector at home.
