Frazee Elementary students visited the Frazee Fire Department on Thursday, Oct. 7. The Vergas Fire Department also brought their engine for the students to view. 

In addition to getting an up-close-view of the engines, the students also learned about fire prevention and safety, like the well-known stop-drop-and roll method to keep them safe if on fire.
