long term damage that occurs
when kids go wrong early.
“It’s important to give good
guidance to students at an early
age,” Wray said. “The ones who
get into trouble early are usual-
ly the ones who end up in jail
as adults.”
Instilling the need for goals
into the students is also a big
part of Wray’s on the job philos-
ophy. By doing so, he believes
that youths boost their self es-
teem and strive for success.
Wray says one of the most im-
portant things parents carvdo is
to urge their children to have a
positive goal in life.
“While I'm at Kings
Mountain Middle School, Iam
going to try and show the kids
there is hope and that you can
become anything you set your
mind to be,” he said.

Kids at East Elementary in
Kings Mountain got a visit from
the fire department on Monday.
- Everything was cool though,
the call was to help make the
children more aware of fire
safety and to tell them what
they should do if their own
home should become a fire
statistic.
Arriving at the school park-
ing lot in the Kings Mountain
Fire Department ladder truck,
chief Frank Burns and firefight-
er Joey Davis visited Shirley
Smith's second grade class.
Besides handing out home fire
prevention checklist pamphlets
and showing a fire safety video,
the pair lectured the students
on what they could do to help
prevent fires.
“Never play with gasoline or
matches,” Burns said. “Also, If
you think there may be a fire in
another room in your house,
feel the doorknob to see if it’s
hot” =
These were just two tips that
Burns and Davis went over
with the kids. Others included
the importance of having a
planned and practiced escape
route from home, the need to
tell 911 operators if anyone is
left in the house, and having a
prearranged meeting place
away from the burning house
where family members can
meet until help arrives.
“Make sure your meeting
. spot is well out of the road,”
Davis said. “Remember, fire
trucks and other vehicles will
be arriving.”
Davis also demonstrated the
equipment that firefighters
have to wear when they go into
action. Taking his hat, jacket,
boots, trousers, and oxygen
mask piece by piece, Davis
pointed out the safety features
built into each one. Even with

_ Fire Prevention Week. Pictured are, left to right; firefighter Joey Davis, Jalessa Howard, Lea

said.
all the special clothing, Davis
told the second graders that
firefighting was hazardous.
“Firemen can still get hurt,”
he said.
The trip that Burns and Davis
made to East coincided with
National Fire Safety Week.
Burns explained to the kids that
the commemoration was set
aside for the week of October 9
because that’s when the Great
Chicago Fire of 1874 took place.
The legend is that Mrs.
O’Leary’s cow kicked over a
lantern and started the blaze.
“Over 3,000 homes and busi-
nesses were destroyed,” Burns
For a final treat, the students
got a close look at the fire en-
gine and an explanation of
some of its equipment.
For more information on fire
safety, call the Kings Mountain
Fire Department at 734-0555.
