CALUMET PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Thank you, El Reno Fire Department, for allowing our 4th, 5th, & 6th graders to visit the station! The firemen educated us on fire safety and then we were able to visit their living quarters, tour their largest firetruck, and even got a chance to use the fire hose! 🚒👨‍🚒 Parents, don't forget- when you change your clocks, change your batteries (in the smoke alarms)!
