Preschool children learn about safety

Children at the La Cañada Flintridge Community Center Preschool enjoyed a visit from local firefighters and policemen during LCFCCP’s Safety Week.

Firefighters from Station No. 82 explained the “Stop, Drop and Roll” safety exercise. Children were each given the chance to hold the fire hose along with one of the firemen. They learned how to aim the water in a pretend fire drill. In addition, Deputy Dan Cortes spoke about what you do if there is ever an emergency: to call 911. They also discussed stranger danger. The preschoolers toured a police car and listened to the siren. Children also discussed other safety topics during the week including home safety, bicycle safety and the importance of wearing a helmet.
