Washington and Lee Residence Life and W&L Fire and Life Safety staff invited the Lexington Fire Department today to the campus for a fire safety information session. RezLife student leaders practiced fire extinguisher use with an extinguisher simulator, and learned about steps to take in the event of a fire. To conclude, they had some hands-on time with equipment from Engine 92. Thanks to all who made this possible and all who practice fire safety and preparedness!
