The Cleveland Fire Department's Station 42 on Pearl Road received a heartwarming visit from young scholars this week. Students from St. Leo the Great School spent time with the firefighters, sharing colorful cards and engaging with the crew. The social interaction offered a mutual exchange of community spirit and education.
Captain Dewaele and his crew were delighted by the visit and, expressed their gratitude on the Cleveland Fire's official Facebook page. "One of the highlights this week was the visit by students from @st.leo_the_great school to Station 42 on Pearl Road," the post read. The captain noted the crew "appreciated the colorful cards and chance to meet the young scholars." Moreover, they wished the students good luck with their school year and a safe upcoming season.
The fire department's engagement with youth is part of their community outreach programs designed to educate and inspire. Children learn about fire safety, the day-to-day duties of firefighters, and the importance of public service. Such visits are not only informative but also build a bridge between the community and its first responders.
