LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. — Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue Department spent time educating Lehigh Elementary fourth graders on fire safety.

On the department's Twitter account, students can be seen getting a close look at fire trucks and testing out the fire hose.

The fourth graders also learned fire safety tips, including the phrase: “Smoke goes up, so we go down.”

Fully equipped in their firefighting gear, the firemen taught the students about home escape plans, emphasizing that every family should have one.
