Grove Fire Department had a great time visiting the ECC and Lower Elementary to teach our young students about fire safety! 👨‍🚒👩‍🚒

Our firefighters enjoyed seeing all of the smiling faces and talked with the kids about the importance of fire safety, what to do in an emergency, and how firefighters help keep our community safe! 🚨

A BIG thank you to the teachers, staff, and students for welcoming us!
