Fire safety training

Patsy Bullard, Supervisor at Tabor City Baptist Church Day Care, took a turn on the hose with firefighter Chris Fowler as the Tabor City Fire Department conducted a fire drill there on Friday (top photo). Children and teachers dutifully evacuated the building after the alarm was pulled, and most took a turn on the hose before going back inside. In the photos that follow, Gavin Niven takes a turn on the hose with help from firefighter Jeff Bell, Breanna Strickland is all smiles with Chris Fowler, and first graders from Tabor City Elementary School pose with Sparky at the Tabor City Fire Department following a tour and program there.
