Fire Prevention Week in Vinton continues today, as second graders visited the fire station
Firefighters showed the students their uniforms and equipment, as well as many of the trucks. 

A new tradition that began last year is allowing the students to learn how to activate the nozzle of the firefighter's hose. The youngsters eagerly lined up for their opportunity; the photos show how much they enjoyed it.
