In conclusion of Fire Prevention Week, Firefighter Natalie Scheer visited West Middleton Kindergarten. Firefighter Scheer is doing a 2 year internship at Maple Bluff Fire Department while also earning her associates degree in Fire Science from Madison College. She is also the stepdaughter of kindergarten teacher Amanda Scheer. Firefighter Scheer talked to the class about becoming a firefighter, staying safe and fielded many "what if" questions in a kind, thoughtful way for the 5 and 6 year olds. She also demonstrated how she puts on her gear and the importance of knowing firefighters are safe people even with the gear that some may find scary. Thank you to Firefighter Natalie Scheer and to the Maple Bluff Fire Department.
