Saturday’s Fire Prevention and Life Safety Fair was, to, paraphrase a cereal commercial from a generation ago, kid-tested and parent-approved.
The Bullhead City Fire Department invited the community to Bullhead Community Park to learn about safety in the home, on the water and elsewhere.
But the event didn’t skimp on opportunities for fun.
Each of the 20 or so booths provided information. Many also had interactive activities for children. Crawling under smoke, watching out for underground gas lines and identifying safe and hazardous liquids were among the skills kids brushed up on.
“They’re having a great time,” JoLynn Mills said of her grandsons, General and Christopher. “They get to meet all the different guys and learn about new things.”
She said family members try to expose the boys to as many learning opportunities as possible.
