Parker Nowak, 5, of Rossford, center, tries on a firefighter's helmet during a fire safety training session put on for the preschoolers by Penta's Public Safety/EMT-Fire Science program at the school. Students hosted two sessions of preschoolers to teach them fire safety tips, including stop, drop and roll, family evacuation plans and fire gear demonstrations. Perrysburg Township Fire Department helped the students execute the drills and donated a smoke detector to each child.
