Every Friday at 10 a.m., Rick Freier is ‘The Fire Science Guy’. On the Spokane Valley Fire Department’s Facebook page, he plans to go live every Friday until May 1st with lessons on fire safety and the science behind fire itself. The first Fire Science Friday was on April 3rd, where Freier taught an introductory lesson on what fire is to begin with. He also used experiments and visuals to demonstrate what fire does and how it reacts to different things. Freier said he has two goals in mind with his fire science classes: Get kids excited about science and give them the tools to make safe and smart choices.
