Springdale students are getting special training from local fire departments during fire prevention week.
On Wednesday (Oct. 9) at Jones Elementary School students spent the morning learning about fire safety in a fun and interactive way.
“The best way to put out a fire is not with water contrary to most people's opinions. That’s the second plan. The primary plan is not to have a fire,” Fire Captain Matt Bagley said.
Fire prevention week is observed around the country each year during the week of October 9th.
This year’s theme is “not all heroes wear capes.”
“Doing the right thing, keeping people safe in your family, considering other people and their safety as much as you're considering your own, that’s what really being a hero is about,” Bagley said.
