Residents may have been noticing a smoke filled trailer making its way around the City.

 

Don’t worry- it’s not a real fire.

 

Thompson Fire and Emergency Services Deputy Chief, Rick Morris says the “sparky trailer” is a safety tool:

 

"It’s a good tool for educating the young because it does exactly what a trailer fire would do: fills it with smoke where you can’t see in front of your face, and then you have to get on the floor and crawl out to your nearest exit".

 

 

Morris has been taking the trailer to the elementary schools as part of Fire Prevention Week. He says many students have been excited to step foot into the trailer, while others have gotten a little too scared.

 

Morris makes his last two stops today at Juniper and Westwood.
