The Sipesville Volunteer Fire Company promotes fire prevention
in the surrounding community in many different ways. One such method is
by conducting fire drills at the Sipesville Elementary School, and presenting a
fire prevention assembly for the students every year during Fire Prevention Week. |

Deputy Chief Dan Carr gives students a tour of the engine and its equipment. |
Asst. Chief Nick Kovach conducts a demonstration on the "Jaws of Life." |
During the assembly firefighters stress topics such as the importance
of testing smoke detectors in the home, planning escape routes out of the
house, dialing 911 in case of emergency, and not playing with matches or lighters.
In addition students are taught how to stop, drop, and roll if their
clothes would catch fire. |
In addition to discussing the importance of fire safety, we usually
have a firefighter don full turnout gear and an SCBA to teach children not
to hide or be afraid of firefighters. Afterwards the students are given
a tour of the fire apparatus. We would like to thank the teachers and staff
of the school for their cooperation with the fire prevention programs at the
school. |

In addition to working with the school, the fire company has a
detailed preplan system for all commercial structures and businesses in Lincoln
Township. The fire company has also sponsored fire extinguisher classes
open to community members in the past. |
We would be happy to present a fire prevention programs to persons both young
and old. If you would like a firefighter to speak to your youth group,
cub scout pack, senior citizens organization, church, or other group, please
contact Sipesville Fire Chief Jim Shroyer or call the fire station at (814)445-4899
and leave your name and number on the answering machine. |
