With the increasing academic requirements school teachers are facing today with the "No Student Left Behind" act, fire departments are finding it harder and harder to get classroom time to meet with students.
What are some of the creative, non traditional ways, your department has used to reach school aged children and get precious classroom time?
One method I have used was being a "classroom reader" which is always welcome in the schools. BUT! Every book started or ended with a fire safety lesson...."Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall because he never heard a smoke detector before, have you heard one?"
