Fire safety week falls in October every year and earlier this month, the Boothsville Fire Department and Grafton City Fire Department came in to talk to our students about fire safety. Students go to see their fire trucks, learn about their jobs, and learn fire safety tips. Thank you to both departments for coming in and talking to our students. They really enjoyed it!
