From Mar. 21 through Mar. 22, SFARY and members of their Firefighter Youth Academy taught students the “Stop, Drop, and Roll” technique, what to do if you're caught inside during a fire, and discussed kid-friendly fire prevention measures. The Firefighter Youth Academy is mainly made up of current VCUSD students, making it a great way for older students to interact with younger ones, making it a meaningful learning opportunity. 

Thank you to Principal Janice Lubin, Battalion Chief Byron Berhel, all the members of the Firefighter Youth Academy, and all others who supported this event.
