BOCA RATON – Students at B’Nai Israel School at 2200 West Yamato Road got a special treat from the local fire station in their area.
Firefighters met with students to speak about fire safety, and watch as a Firefighter Jeff Lazzeri dressed up in his fire gear and mask.

Talks such as these are used to teach young students not to be afraid of firefighters when they are dressed and ready to fight a fire. They are taught that even though they look different in their gear, “Firefighters Are Our Friends.” After the talk, students were given a tour and walk through of a fire truck.
Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services visits schools and organizations throughout the year as part of their commitment to provide public education to the community.
