All the children that attended, learned over the three-day St. Kitts-Nevis Fire and Rescue Services Summer Safety Program, that fire was a good servant but bad master.
They learned that it was a good servant in terms of keeping them warm and cooking their food, but became a bad master when the fire would burn homes.
The summer safety program was started 11 years ago when according to Fire Sub-Officer Everette O'Garro, they had observed an increase in the number of fire incidents involving children. Many parents living in NEVIS REAL ESTATE sent their children to this important program.
?Over the three days we will teach fire safety tips because we realize over the summer children are at home or they go on picnics. We?ve also included the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force to deal with traffic safety, and the Coast Guard to deal with water safety. So we?ll be covering a wide area other than fires,? O?Garro said.
Many of the students who attended the program in Basseterre were students of the Tucker Clarke Primary School. The school?s Principal Sylvester Charles, commended the Fire and Rescue Services for organizing such a program.
?Even with little sponsorship they were able to host this event every year. And I want to urge everyone to remember and practice the tips they have learned in this program,? Charles said.
