Shulamith students consider fire safety

Members of the Woodmere Fire Department came to Shulamith to speak with young students about fire safety. The firefighters were Jason Hagler, Joey Greenstein, Sruly Max (father of eighth grader Meira Max) and Chevi Kail (mother of fifth grader Mindy Kail). The discussion included Shabbos-related recommendations.

One firefighter demonstrated what to do in the event that one’s clothes catch fire: Stop, Drop, Cover your eyes, and Roll.

While firefighters may appear frightening in their protective gear, including face masks, they are there to help, and one should never hide from them, the firefighters said. Students were given an opportunity to ask questions, and the firefighters patiently and comprehensively answered each one.
