Mrs. McNeil's class proudly showing their new helmets given to them by the Butte Falls Fire Department! -Bog Butte Historical Society STOP, DROP, COVER & ROLL... By- Fire Chief Rick Martin Butte Falls Elementary First through Fourth Graders had the opportunity to visit the Butte \\ Falls Volunteer Fire Department and leam about fire safety during National Fire Safety Month. Teachers and students enjoyed a short walk to the fire station on October 10 to meet with Fire Chief Rick Martin, Assistant Chief Jeff Gorman, and Firefighters Shelly Conopa, Steve Harvey, and Junior Firefighter, Mike Hansen. The kids participated in a fire safety question and answer session with Chief Martin. The critical key point a child needs to leam about a house fire is what to listen and look for if they smell smoke. Dressed in full firefighting clothes and equipment, Firefighter Conopa, demonstrated what a child would see and hear during a fire rescue by talking through a breathing apparatus while crawling on the floor toward the children, in a rescue situation, particularly in dense smoke, an approaching firefighter can appear frightening and intimidating to youngsters. The children were encouraged to touch the firefighter and look at the different equipment she was wearing as a way to assure them there is nothing to fear. Also, Firefigher Hansen demonstrated wildland fire clothes and gear while Assistant Chief Gorman explained the difference. Afterwards the children were taught to "stop, drop, cover & roll", the other key point to leam for fire rescue. All graduated the class with honors and were presented with stickers and a firefighting bag of goodies. The main highlight of the day, however, was the presentation of new bicycle helmets by the Fire Department to the elementary students. Nancy Thompson helped with the coordination of helmets. These helmets, to be distributed by elementary teachers, were a gift obtained through a partnership grant thanks to Firefighter Robert Walters, Fire District 3.
