On Monday morning, firefighters headed over to KD Markley Elementary school to visit the second graders and do a fire safety talk.

Firefighters met with the students to discuss home and life safety, such as the importance of "Stop Drop and Roll" and how to safely get out and escape a building on fire. Firefighters also showed off their protective gear so that the kids could be familiar with a firefighter in full protective clothing and air pack, answered questions, and let the students look at one of the fire trucks and the tools firefighters use to save life and property.

The members of St. 5 were pleasantly surprised when a $500 donation was presented on behalf of the second grade class.

The members of East Whiteland would like to thank the students and faculty and staff of KD Markley for a fun and informative day, and a very generous donation.
