Residents
from Auberle volunteered in assisting the City of
McKeesport Fire Department with tours of their Fire
Safety Exhibit that was on display at the International
Village Days in Renzie Park during August. The Fire
Safety Exhibit is a portable replica of a house with
different stations inside designed to teach youngsters
about fire safety. Auberle residents assisted the
Fire Fighters by walking the youngsters through the
exhibit. One of the featured stations educates children
on how to properly evacuate a room if it begins to
fill with smoke. Firefighters use a controllable machine
to fill the “smoke room”, making the simulation
as realistic as possible. The Auberle Residents assisted
the youngsters by showing them how to properly evacuate
the room.
All
of the kids who volunteered had a great time, knowing
that they were helping other kids and giving back
to the community.
