Fire Prevention

Each year the Monroe Township Fire Department conducts on-site fire prevention and safety exercises at our area elementary schools. We provide students the opportunity to see the inside of a Medic transport vehicle, examine a firefighting truck and its associated equipment, and give students the opportunity to see a fire fighter in full protective gear including their SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus). Students are lead through a stop-drop-and-roll exercises and taught the importance of staying low when exiting a house that has smoke. This fire prevention educational exercise has historically always been a big hit with the Johnstown Elementary students and faculty.

Fire Prevention Mission
