As several of us were tying red ribbons around anything that stands still in front of DCE last Friday, we kept noticing more and more fire department vehicles pulling into the Racz Red Raider Loop. When we were finished tying, we couldn't resist going to have a peek. I am so glad that we did. I now know what I want to be when I grow up, a firefighter in Coppell. They were fabulous!
A group of firefighters came to the school as a group of clowns to put on a show for our K-2nd graders on fire safety. They were hysterical. In a completely non-threatening way, they were able to address fire safety, gun safety, internet safety, Halloween safety and several other topics that I am sure I missed by walking in late to the presentation. They told jokes, did short plays, sang songs and even included a few teachers (thanks to Ms. Francis and Mr. Rivas for being such great sports).
I have attached a video that I shot with my cell phone. Sorry, for the poor quality, I haven't yet upgraded to the I4.... (honey, are you reading this? Just kidding. I am completely happy with my current cell phone).
To think that not only do these men save lives, they also promote safety in a completely safe environment and look like they have a blast doing it.
I 2nd that! Our firefighters ROCK, and made safety FUN! I'm so glad to have caught the show!
