Austin Volunteer Fire Department

Kids at the Austin Area School were excited to visit with the Austin Fire Department during fire prevention week. AVFD member Annette Faust taught a lesson on the importance of having a smoke detector and escape plan and how to call 911. Firefighter Andy Bothell gave a tour of the fire truck and talked about the equipment while Junior member Blake Bennett sported his fire apparel. Each student was given a goody bag in recognition of fire prevention week.
