The children of Holly Hill Childcare & Learning Center got a firsthand experience on fire safety on Oct. 11 thanks to members of the Orange Volunteer Fire Department. The firefighters demonstrated fire equipment as the students climbed up on the fire engine and manned the heavy water hoses. They learned that firefighters are real people who want to help, never to be afraid of them and never, ever panic and hide. The event was part of Fire Safety Awareness Month in October. Bright red fire hats were given to each child at the end of the event. Photo by Kyla Rhoades.
