Firefighters bring annual field trip to the YMCA

On Tuesday and Wednesday all preschool classes learned about fire safety, saw local firefighters in the gear they wear and took a look at their truck and the equipment on board their rigs. Thanks to the Huntington firefighters for helping our students learn about fire safety!

Preschoolers seeing the firefighter in all his gear and learning what they wear and why.
