Fort Pierce Central students and teachers were joined by St. Lucie County firefighters to celebrate Autism Awareness in April! Mrs. Puentes’ class was met by our local heroes in the bus loop for an interactive tour of two well-equipped fire trucks. Firefighters arrived with their aerial truck and fire engine. Groups of students rotated to see, hear, and ask questions about the exterior and interior components of the aerial truck. Our firefighters graciously allowed students to participate in the fire hose demonstration and showed their longest ladder extension in the fleet. Students found the experience impressive and fun! Thanks to our community heroes!
