FIRE PREVENTION: Grand Valley fire department to host Fire Fighter for the Day
The Grand Valley and District Fire Department will be hosting a Fire Fighter for the Day contest again this year as part of the Fire Prevention Week Activities.
Students in junior and intermediate classes attending Grand Valley and District Public School participate in a poster contest based on public fire safety information delivered in the classroom.
Posters are judged by members of the Grand Valley and District Fire Board. One male and one female student are selected from each of the grade divisions; four students in total.
Winners are picked up at the school at the end of the day in our front line pumper truck and taken home.
The winners and their families are invited to participate in a Fire Fighter for the Day training session at the fire hall. Students will learn about smoke alarms, fire safety and fire fighter expectations during a response.
Fire Fighter for the Day winners will be picked up at Grand Valley and District Public School, 120 Main St. North at 2:30 pm on Oct. 7.
Fire Fighter for the Day Training Session will be held at the Grand Valley and District Fire Department, 173145 County Road 25, Grand Valley at 7pm on Oct 7.
