Good morning All;
Well its back to school tomorrow here where I live in WNY, so what does that mean for all you First Responders, means what out for those school buses and watch out for the school kids crossing the streets and waiting for the school buses picking the school kids up in the AM and then again in the PM. Another thing watch out for that excited kid running across the street not watching for vehicles.
What does this all have to do with us, as First Responders is , is there anyone crossing the street against the light when we are racing to a 911 call, sure lights and siren are blaring but for that person getting off the bus and this being his first day and running to tell mom , dad, or who ever picking them "WATCH OUT"
When we go to schools to talk about Fire Safety , bring up about us going a little faster and tell them why , but mainly tell them to watch before crossing the street.
So remember the kids are back to school and we need to be watching a lot more responding, "PLEASE"
