October was Fire Prevention Month, nationally. Eden Prairie is no different and all of our firefighters take fire prevention seriously. fire prevention is proven effective in the fight against fire loss, injury and death.
Almost every day during October our firefighters visit the various schools and daycares in Eden Prairie to teach children about fire safe behaviors and of course the kids get to meet the firefighters and take a close up look at the fire trucks.
Every November the the cards of appreciation arrive from each and every class that was visited by firefighters during October. The cards are always creative and have lots of appreciative comments from the kids and teachers alike. Above is a shot of just today’s arriving cards. I know I speak for all of the firefighters when I say that we get as much out of the experience as the kids do. It is a lot of fun!
