Firefighters visiting the students at East Broadway Elementary School on Oct. 16 shared fire prevention tips with a special demonstration of what to do in an emergency.

The Wantagh Fire Department brought along their smokehouse, which mimics the interior of a house and is designed to simulate a fire emergency. Inside, students learned to identify a potentially dangerous doorway by feeling if the handle is hot and how to crawl to avoid smoke. At the smokehouse's window, students shouted for help and carefully evacuated with the help of firefighters. The informative visit from local firefighters gives students essential skills to have when faced with an emergency.
