Winslow and Patoka Township fire- men were at the Winslow Elementary School last week for National Fire Pre- vention Week. Children got to see fire trucks and firefighting equipment. They also were in a demonstration trailer that fills with animated smoke to teach what to do when they are in a fire. They also got to use a fire hose. Fire Chief Bran- don Truitt said Patoka and other depart- ments in Pike County have free smoke detectors to give to people needing them. He said detectors for the hear- ing impaired are also available. Left: Fourth grader Alissa Wilson, of Mr. Olinger's class, climbs down from an upstairs window of the simulated fire trailer.
