Bayard Elementary Pre-K Visits Bayard Volunteer Fire & Rescue

This morning we had the privilege of hosting Bayard Elementary’s Pre-K students at the station! The kids learned about fire prevention, safety, and how our EMS team responds to emergencies.

They got to see our fire engines up close, explore some of the equipment, and meet the firefighters and EMTs who serve their community.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with our local schools and teach the next generation about safety, teamwork, and community service.
