Sounds of the Fulda Fire Department’s truck sirens Tuesday through Friday last week had townspeople asking, ‘what’s going on?’ Some attempted to see where the trucks were heading and others waited to hear the news from their neighbors.

What was happening was fire education at the Fulda Fire Hall for students, pre-school to sixth grade, from Fulda Elementary School. Sunday, October 7 through Saturday, October 13 was Fire Prevention Week.

Under this year’s theme “Look. Listen. Learn.
