ASHLAND — In recognition of Fire Prevention Week, several Ashland Elementary School classes participated in activities with members of the Ashland Fire Department.

Kindergarten students walked to the fire station where they enjoyed a tour of the station, several demonstrations involving fire safety equipment, and the opportunity for a close up look at the fire trucks with Captain Aaron Heath and Lieutenant Kendall Hughes. Later in the week, Lieutenant Hugh came to AES with EMT Danielle Reed to meet with students and to discuss fire safety and prevention in their homes.
