With the roaring L.A. wildfires, fire safety is at the top of everyone’s mind. While our hearts go out to those affected, we here in New York wanted to use this opportunity as a teaching moment for our individuals. Last week, a group of our individuals visited the Catskill Firehouse to learn about fire safety and see some pretty cool trucks.
The fire fighters at Catskill Firehouse were incredibly welcoming, showing the individuals around the station and giving an in-depth tour of the different fire trucks that they use to fight fires and assist the community each day. When talking with the individuals, the fire fighters stressed the importance of fire safety, detailing the importance of having a mapped out escape plan and designated meeting spot, and how important it is to practice the escape plan regularly. All-in-all, it was an incredibly fun and informative day at the Catskill Firehouse. Our sincerest thank you to the brave fire fighters who took time out of their day to show us around!
