When clothes are on fire: Stop, Drop, and Roll!

Captain Wally Finck gives a talk to an elementary school class in El Toro's area.

The Captain discusses smoke alarms.

A student helps demonstrate "Stop, Drop and Roll", what to do if your clothes catch on fire.

FF/E/P Kathie Baumgartner and FF/E Chris Culp lead the children out to the engine.

The children are given a tour of engine 12.

Here, they are shown the contents of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) compartment, and some of the medical supplies and tools that are used. FF/E Culp also demonstrated his turnouts.

FF/E (now Captain) Debbie Stocksick and first graders at a Morgan Hill elementary school act out how to call 911 and speak with a dispatcher in an emergency.
