This is what the Great Bend Fire Department did on Wednesday at Jefferson Elementary School.This week is fire prevention week and the GBFD is visiting local schools to teach the children on how to prevent fires and what to in the case of a blaze in their homes.“This week is very important to the children,” Fire Inspector Mark Orth said. “Today we are demonstrating on how to put out certain fires that can happen in the kitchen and how to use a fire extinguisher properly.”The firefighters caught a pan of grease on fire to demonstrate to the kids on ways to put the out the fire.
