Thank you to the Gulfport Fire Department for visiting Gulfport High School and giving our students hands-on lessons about fire safety and emergency preparedness! 🚒🔥

Students learned about fire extinguishers, what to do in a crisis situation, and how to respond safely during a fire. They even had the opportunity to practice using a fire extinguisher to put out a controlled fire.

We appreciate the Gulfport Fire Department for helping our students build important skills that can make a difference in an emergency! 🧯👏
