In recognition of National Fire Prevention Month, the next two week’s unit spotlight posts will focus on our Fire Safety House models.
This week, we’re showcasing a SCOTTY Safety Theater 35-Bedroom that was built for the DeKalb County Fire Rescue in Tucker, GA. It will primarily be used by their Public Education Unit to provide free lessons and demonstrations regarding fire safety, fire prevention, and weather safety.
