Fire Prevention Drill at Carter's Valley Elementary School
Firefighters are shown arriving at the scene of Carter's Valley Elementary school for the annual Fire Prevention Day
on Oct 10th 2008. The fire alarm had previously sounded and the students were evacuating the building.
This is the view from a child, as they left their room and entered the hallways. We used
non-toxic smoke machines. These are used to simulate real smoke and
give the kids an idea of what it is like and what to expect.
Firefighters Josh Folden and Cory Wood enter the school to begin a routine " Search and Rescue " procedure.
While the " Search and Rescue " team works inside, Engine 1 crew trains on Water supply with Josh Bowser as Engineer.
Engineer Josh Bowser, Lt. Justin Rush and Capt. Aaron Pierson " Wrap a Hydrant " that will supply water to the Engine.
Lt. Jeff Barton places Engine 8 on standby, while Principal Lisa Webb monitors the evacuation of the students.
Carter's Valley Chief Michael Yates, Hawkins County EMA Director Gary Murrell, and Asst. Jamie Miller teach the students.
Firefighters Caitlin Smith and Milo Kim help to train the students NOT to be Afraid of Firefighters.
Chief Yates answers a students question, " If we had Helped to save a Life ". Yates calls upon firefighter Cruz Russell to
describe his recent feelings at a life saving rescue only a few months prior.
