‘Don’t panic kids, it’s only a little fire’

Magnolia Fire Department Fireman David Lindsey (right) shows Magnolia fourth-graders a variety of home fire deterrent methods during a Wednesday seminar in the department’s mobile training trailer at Central Elementary School. The presentation ended with a stop, drop, and roll drill in a mock smoke-filled room.

The talks to youngsters are part of MFD’s participation in National Fire Prevention week. The agency all week has conducted similar presentations at East Side Elementary, local day-care centers, and for youth organizations to get the word out on fire safety.
