Connetquot and Timber Point elementary schools were filled with excitement and hands-on learning as students recently took part in Fire Prevention Week activities during memorable visits from the Great River, East Islip and Islip Terrace fire departments. The dedicated firefighters taught the students important fire safety tips, including what to do in case of an emergency, and helped them understand the vital role of our community heroes. The students also had the opportunity to explore real fire trucks and equipment.
