Firefighters visit Laraway as part of Career Exploration Series


     Laraway School hosted firefighters from the Johnson Fire Department as part of its Career Exploration Series.  Five members of the company visited on Tuesday, February 4th to read to and discuss their experiences with students from our elementary and high school programs.
     Firefighter by Angela Royston was the chosen book.  It addresses a day in the life of typical firefighters, from the quieter moments of maintaining the fleet of trucks to the action-packed efforts of fighting fires, where quick decisions must be made.
     Student questions covered everything from what training is required to become a firefighter to what kind of protective gear a firefighter must wear.
     Thank you, Johnson Fire Department, for teaching our students about a career in firefighting!
