Lyons-Decatur Northeast students attended Fire Prevention Week at the Lyons Firehall Thursday, receiving an education from the Lyons Fire Department members on what to do in a fire. Jeff Going, a member of the Lyons Fire Department, and is also a State Fire Marshall, demonstrates what not to do inside this house, which he helped to obtain via a grant throughout the state.
Each room of the house displays an error, such as storing lawn mowers and other outside equipment in the basement next to a hot water heater. The students were asked what was wrong in each room and how to correct it.
The theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week is Smoke Detectors.
Check your smoke detectors regularly!
