The Superior Fire Department will offer fire prevention training for home-schooled children in first through fifth grade from 1-3 p.m. Oct. 17, Oct. 18 and Oct. 19.
Training held in 2022 , the first offered by the department, welcomed 103 children to the headquarters fire station over two days.
“We actually ended up having to turn down a couple of families — we didn’t have enough space — so we’ve opened it up. We’re going to do three days this year,” said Lead Fire Inspector Caleb Sorvik. The education is what Superior firefighters provide to students in public schools every October during Fire Prevention Month. It will include presentations, demonstrations, a visit by Sparky the fire dog, a chance to see fire trucks, fire prevention handouts and goodies, as well as a tour of the fire station.
