PVES
Walk of the Town
Pleasant View FD is one of the stops on the walk of
the Town that the Pleasant View Elementary School holds
every year. Each year the 3rd graders have
the chance to walk the town and visit several of the
local spots of interest. The PVFD has been a favorite
on this walk for years. According to some of the 3rd
graders, we are the “best” stop. The FD spends a lot of
time with the children on prevention and education.
This is taken very seriously and the kids know this, but
they also know that this day is a day of fun.
We start
out with a prevention message and a recap on everything
the kids have learned in the past. Then it is on with
the fun. The children were shown the air bags in
action, rescue equipment, turn out gear, and SCBA. They
were also allowed to spray water from a fire hose. Some
even got wet. Imagine that with 3rd
graders. The teachers were asked to dress in full PPE
and pictures were taken for the school. This was a huge
success and the children will remember this for a
lifetime.
