Rockford — Fire safety was the lesson of the day for first-graders at Parkside Elementary School, where students learned about prevention from a Rockford Fire Department firefighter.
Along with seeing a fire truck up close, students learned about the importance of having a plan to get out of the house as quickly and safely as possible in the event of a fire.
Our videographer, Brett Atwood, captured the important lesson as it unfolded.
