OSMOND — Third grade students at Osmond Community School spent the week of Oct. 6-10 learning about fire prevention and safety. One of the highlights of their week was the
annual trip to the fire station and the ride on the fire trucks.
The students have shared their thoughts about their week here. ————— If you are on fire you should stop drop and roll.Yesterday we got to ride on the fire trucks on the way to the fire hall and the way to school. I don't know that fire trucks do different jobs, like grass rigs are for grass fires and pumper rigs hold the water. We got to try on the firefighter's coats. The orange one is for building fires and the green one is for grass fires.
— Julian Vogel
Firefighters visited the school.Then we rode in the fire truck. Then we stopped at the fire station. Then we went in the ambulance. — Michael Herrera I went on a fire truck.I learned so much. First we learned about the fire truck. Plus we learned about the gear and the ambulance. They showed us how it works. Never put water on a grease fire. Never play with fire or you will be in the hospital. If there
is a fire in your home, call 911. Do NOT go back in to look. Remember Fire safety! — Skylar Mendlik
Firefighters wear light coats for wildfires and heavy coats for house fires. Fire trucks go to 65 mph. Best of all, fire trucks have lever windows!
— Xavier Morfeld They get the gear on when they get called. They drive the fire truck and ambulance. They brought us to the fire station. They let us be in the ambulance. Then they drove us back. — Lucas Mauro Your phone will call 911 and the police, fireman, and the ambulance will come. If there is a fire, go outside
and call 911, but don’t go inside at all till the firemen come. On Thursday, October 2025 we rode on a pumper firetruck, and a grass rig fire truck. It was so fun and we got to look at the firetrucks and I also got to put on my dad's fire gear. Don't put any clothing on grease fire or water. It will make the fire worse. Our class is third grade of 2025! Thank you. — Berkley Aschoff If you call an ambulance, firefight - ers will come. If there's a grease fire do not put water on it it will make it
worse. do not play with fire it is very dangerous. If you make a campfire be
careful and make sure you put it out before you go to bed. If there is a fire, firemen have to get their gear and put out the fire. I went on a fire truck. I learned so much in the fire truck. The firemen picked us up. It was so much fun. we got to put on the jackets. and on the way back to school we got to honk the horn. and we learned about ambulances too. it was so cool I had so much fun I got to put on my dad’s gear! — Olivia Schramm If you're on fire stop, drop, and roll. Make sure you call 911. If there is smoke in the air, army crawl and use your hands to guide you on the walls. Use the back of your hand on the door to make sure there's not a fire on the other side. Do your best to get outside right away. — Zoey Halsey We rode in the fire trucks to the fire department. They let us try on the fire
gear. We sat in the ambulance at the fire department. We rode back to the school. — Henley Schoenauer You do not play with fire. If there is a fire in your house you go outside and call 911. The firefighters came to pick us up. We got to ride the fire truck to the fire hall and back to the school. Firefighters wear special gear so they do not get hurt by the fire flames. - Barrett Gansebom If there is a fire in your home, run to safety. Don’t go inside if you don’t have safety equipment. Then get a water hose. Then wait for the firefighters. - Lynkn Rice Stay away from fire. Do not play with fire. Do not have anything flam mable in your home. You can’t put water on a grease fire. We got to try on the firefighters coats and helmets. We
also got to go in the ambulance. We got to ride in the fire truck. We got to honk the horn. — Rowan Gansebom Fire trucks came to get us. The fire trucks came from the fire station. We learn about fire safety. We got to go in the fire trucks. - Kody Mendlik
