The most popular station, as usual, is the root beer float station. Bakken worked in the fire safety trailer, helping kids know what to do if the door to their room has a hot handle or smoke begins to seep in under the door. “What is huge about a lot of" our stations is it’s not just lecture,” Bakken said. “It’s one thing to just sit there and say, ‘()K kids, here step one, two and three.’ We’re making it real—life situation, we’ve got smoke coming out from underneath the door, we’ve mama-me got the smoke detector going off, we’ve got a hot door that they’re feeling and so we’re trying to make it lifelike as we possibly can at a multitude of our stations, especially the trailer, because when you en- counter that and you see it, oh my gosh, that lecture could dissipate, however the hands—on and the repet— itive practice, it sets in and sinks in even better.” Emergency Prevention Specialist Abe Gardner participated in his second Safety Days event said the goal of this event would be to “work ourselves out of jobs.” “As much proactive interventions and education on what to do in case you do face an emergency and job, most fun week of" the year,” s ear the fuamntals of how to stay safe or how to prevent an emergency,” Gardner told the Journal. “I think we’re really incredibly grateful that all the partners are willing to get on board with us and make sure that we’re able to set our community’s kids up for success.” Gardner said the reception has been great from the schools and the kids, including Sand Hill Prino cipal Jason Swaser telling Gardner that one family had appointments during Safety Days, but they re- scheduled so their kids wouldn’t miss Safety Days. “1 love it, it’s probably the most fun week of my lardner said. “We have a great time.”
