Engine 18 from the Barracks Row firehouse paid a visit to Center City Public Charter School, bringing a day of education and engagement to the young students there. As part of their community outreach, DC Fire and EMS showcased the importance of fire safety and the necessity of calling 911 in emergencies.
The visit, documented on social media, featured a demonstration of a firefighter donning his gear, providing students with a hands-on learning experience about what it takes to be one of DC's Bravest. According to a post from DC Fire and EMS Department, "The students watched a firefighter put on his gear while learning the importance of calling 911 in an emergency."
