Kasey the Firedog

Last Friday, Kasey the Firedog visited our school. For some people, this might have just been one more thing to do. But to me it is an event that I was determined for my children to participate in.

You see, my sister was burned severely in a car accident about 17 years ago. One of the things she says that she thought during the moment was that Sparky the Fire Dog had told them to "Stop. Drop. and Roll." when he had visited their class when she was a child. These 4 words helped save her life.

So this event is an opportunity for my children to hear these simple words that could save thier life one day.

I am thankful to these firefighters and their dogs and the impact they have on the lives of our children. My younger child came home and we had to discuss safe places, meeting places, smoke detectors, etc. We have a plan in case of emergency, all thanks to what we've learned from Kasey and his firefighter.

Thanks Kasey!
