To mark Fire Prevention Week, students at Kreamer Street Elementary School learned just how fast a couch can go up in flames as part of an annual controlled burning by the Bellport Fire Department. As students watched, the couch was set on fire outside their school, with Principal Sean Clark assisting the fire department in extinguishing it. The fire simulation coincided with in-class fire safety lessons taught by volunteer firefighters. Students learned how to call 911, the importance of knowing their addresses and where to meet their family in the case of a fire.
