In conjunction with National Fire Safety Month and Fire Prevention Week, each of the Long Beach Public Schools’ elementary buildings hosted visits from the local fire departments during October. Members of the Long Beach Fire Department and Point Lookout-Lido Fire Department led workshops at East, Lido, Lindell and West schools and showed students their trucks and equipment. They provided tips for identifying signs of danger, shared ways to prevent fire hazards and explained what to do in the event of an emergency. The district thanks the community’s firefighters for these important lessons that will help students stay safe.
