PACKWOOD – As part of Fire Safety Week, the Richland and Packwood Fire Departments gave demonstrations to Pekin students on Oct. 8. Students were given a tour of a fire truck’s equipment, taught how to use fire extinguishers and how to deal with kitchen fires, and taught about ATV safety and the importance of wearing a helmet. Students were also given an opportunity to crawl through a Division of State Fire Marhsal Fire Service Training Bureau training maze full of fake smoke.
