A sincere thank you to the Big Rapids Fire Department and the visiting firefighters for spending time with our 1st and 2nd graders at Brookside Elementary today. Our students loved exploring the fire truck and learning essential fire safety skills, including the important rule: "Don't hide, go outside!"
