EVERBODY OUTSIDE! The kindergarten and first grade classes at St. John the Evangelist School recently had an outdoor demonstration near the Little School courtesy of the Watertown Fire Department and the annual Fire Prevention Week. The youngsters are shown with Lt. Jeff Rudzavice, background right, and firefighter Justin Hurley, left background. Mr. Hurley dressed in full gear to show the children exactly how a firefighter would look if he had to enter their home. This was done so that the youngsters wouldn't be afraid during a real fire. Thefiremen also showed the children all the equipment they use while fighting a blaze, and explained each phase of their work. At the end of the talk and demonstration, each child happily received a bright red fire hat. Photo courtesy of Grady.
