Fraternity hosts Fire Safety Day
The sounds of fire engines, sirens and gleeful children filled the air at Fire Safety Day on Sunday at the Phi Delta Theta fraternity house.The East Lansing Fire Department teamed up with the Phi Delta Thetas and the Kappa Delta sorority to put on the event for the community.Bob Pratt, East Lansing fireman and co-coordinator of the event, said the day went fabulously.It was a great day and we had a great turnout, not only from the community but the Phi Delta Thetas and the Kappa Deltas as well, Pratt said.There have been a lot of activities, the kids got to tour the fire truck and the ambulance and they all got a chance to spray a little water out of the fire hose.Along with numerous activities for children, the firemen got a chance to pass along some key fire-safety knowledge, he said.A working smoke detector doubles your chances of surviving a fire, Pratt said.
