One of the PTAs latest educational “real-life” safety events featured volunteer firefighters from Lehman and Jackson Township, a fire truck, a rescue truck and also Balu, Fire chief Dennis Bonning’s rescue dog in training. Emphasis on this year’s safety program was not on all the latest and greatest shiny features on the fire trucks, but on what anyone in a real emergency might encounter-noise and chaos. To make the experi- ence more real, firefighters demonstrated what they would look like in turnout gear, and students then plugged their ears as firefighters started up their noisy engines, sounded the siren, actually shot water from the hose and even gave a short demonstration with the “Jaws of Life.” The favorite of the day was Lehman Fire Chief Dennis Bonning’s rescue dog in training, Balu. Students were treated to an actual rescue as teachers and students took turns hiding and Balu had to find them.
