OSMOND — Third grade students at Osmond Community School and St. Mary’s Catholic School spent the week of Oct. 7-11 learning about fire prevention and safety. One of the highlights of their week was the
annual trip to the fire station and the ride on the fire trucks.
The students have shared their thoughts about their week here.

October is Fire Safety Month. I learned that fire gear is heavy. My favorite part of my visit was that I got to ride in the fire truck with the horn that was in the passenger seat.
Thank you for helping us! — By Remi Schieffer This week is Fire Prevention Week!
I learned how many Fire and EMT emergencies they have responded to this year. EMTs have been on 40 to 80 emergencies. Firemen have been on 8 to 10 emergencies. My favorite part of my visit was honking the horn.
Thank you for your bravery, courage, and service. — By Clara Steffen This week is Fire Prevention Week!
I learned how much water the fire trucks hold. The big truck holds 1,5001,600 and the small truck holds 1,000 gallons of water. My favorite part of our visit was riding in the fire truck.

A fire truck, we'll go to a building that is on fire. The end. - Liam Hart We went on the fire truck to the fire station. My dad, Justin Koehler, let me control the sirens for the fire truck. He also let my classmates; Jessa, Beckett, Makenzie, Braxton and Carter got to do that too. It was fun. The firefighters showed us how to use a fire extinguisher. I got to wear my dad’s helmet. I got to wear his boots that he doesn’t use. I got to wear his jacket too. It was so much fun. — Tripp Koehler I like the fire station because of the fire extinguisher, putting the firefight - er gear on, and being in the fire truck. I learned that a fire extinguisher stinks. I wonder how many fires they have had? I wonder how they can put their gear on so fast? - By Makenzie Dick We went to the fire department on a fire truck.
