Staying cool & learning safety

On the last day of jumpstart, Thursday, June 27, a program intended to prepare incoming Flomaton Elementary School kindergartners to attend school, the children were treated to a special surprise.

Flomaton Fire Chief Steve Stanton along with other firemen and EMS drivers, arrived with their fire engine to spray the children with the water hose.

Chief Stanton and his crew had visited with the children prior to Thursday's visit to educate the kids on fire safety and emergency awareness.

As the sun baked down without a cloud in the sky, the children stayed cool as they ran and played in the water.
