MCFD Volunteer Firefighter Brandon Gadberry in full bunker gear shows children how to crawl below the smoke if caught in a fire.  He also familiarized them with the sounds of the SCBA system, (sounds like Darth Vader, according to these kids!), masks and gear that firefighters wear when they enter a burning home.  Many times children already frightened by fire, smoke and darkness, hide from those that are there to save them.  Fire Prevention day at the the school provides lessons to all grades on how to prevent a fire, and what to do if one should happen.  MCFD appreciates the time the school sets aside each year for these important and possibly life saving lessons.
