Students Learn Fire Safety
September 11, 2013
A group of home-school students, ages 3-8, visited the Cantonment Fire Station Tuesday.
In addition to a lesson on home fire safety, the children received some hands-on time with some of the tools firefighters use every day. From getting the chance to sit in a fire truck, to using a real fire hose to spray water at traffic cones, the students were all smiles.
The visit ended with a visit from Sparky the fire dog who provided gifts.

Tom, your looking old man. Maybe time to start a workout program:) Great job working with the youth, the future firefighters for Escambia County.
1. My granddaughter and I visited station 1 in Pensacola and had a wonderful time learning about the tools that the firefighters use. It is an experience she will remember for the rest of her life, and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to expose her to it…
Great photos, nice job E.C.F.R.!
I remember as a kid looking foward to fire station day! Cops and firefighters rock!
Raises for all county employees asap. The county knows they have the money without a tax raise….. Especially to the cops here in town, theyget paid dirt! How can a county lowball our police and jail officers???? I’ve never seen such a thing. This notion that you need a tax increase to give a raise is unbelievable.
How about going after the salaries of some of the county commission!
