Today your child attended Children's Village of Washington County. Children's Village is a life safety education facility where students receive valuable information about important safety issues.

The day one curriculum included extensive fire safety education. As part of the educational experience, your child has been assigned fire safety homework. This lesson should be completed with your assistance and returned to Children's Village tomorrow.

Although this homework assignment is for your child, everyone in the family can benefit from the experience your child received today at Children's Village. Work through the assignment together and make sure your home is protected by smoke detectors which are in good operating condition. A working smoke detector is critical to the safety of your family. The home fire inspection sheet and fire fact information will help you evaluate safety conditions within your residence.

Each and every firefighter in Hagerstown and Washington County truly care about the citizens we protect. We are a unique breed of people who unfortunately have to see families at their worst time of crises. Almost every crisis could be prevented through education and prevention.

Your attention and assistance with this fire safety homework assignment is urged and appreciated.

Sincerely,

Michael W. Weller
Life Safety Educator
