BG elementary students learn fire safety lessons

"Firefighter Phil" program at Kenwood Elementary School

Students at all the Bowling Green elementary schools learned safety lessons this week from the “Firefighter Phil,” program, brought to the schools by Bowling Green Fire Division.

The program teaches the basics of fire safety to students in kindergarten through fourth grade, according to BG Firefighter Rob Rath.

The fire training is provided in the elementaries each year, with the type of programs being switched around to keep the students’ attention, Rath said.
