Today, a group of students from Coginchaug High School's public safety program attended a career fair at the firehouse. Our team was joined by representatives from Durham FD, Middlefield FD, CT State Police, CT state fire marshal's office, Middlesex Health, Middletown Police, and the National Guard. This event offered students a chance to experience various public safety professions firsthand.

SFD "Adopt A Firefighter"

This educational initiative partners third-grade students from Farm Hill and Bielefield schools with a firefighter from the South Fire District. Over the academic year, students engage in a broad-based safety curriculum, covering fire safety, winter safety, holiday safety, and summer safety. The program's culmination is marked by a celebratory pizza party and a tour of the South Fire District Middletown firehouse and apparatus, with each student receiving a certificate in recognition of their completion of the safety education program.
