Bellefontaine Fire and EMS Department personnel Lucas Crisp, center, and Ben Kennedy, right, receive cards and a plaque to hang at the fire department Thursday from students in Ric Prine’s class at Bellefontaine Middle School. The students wanted to express their appreciation for the firefighters’ work in the community through the handmade gifts. Mr. Prine’s class also has been reading about fires and how it can affect a home. They also have been learning new vocabulary words, such as dousing, resilient, evacuate and mobilize. The Bellefontaine Fire and EMS staff members discussed the importance of smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in a home. (BELLEFONTAINE SCHOOLS PHOTO)
