Firefighters Devin Allan and Josh Will set Ms. Acosta’s kindergarten classroom ablaze with a love of reading at Swan Lake Indian Springs School on Feb. 15. 

The students in the class received bright red firefighting helmets and goodie bags provided by the department while the CFB Shilo firefighters read a book called “Fire Drill” which ignited the class with excitement.

Firefighters shared stories and books with Grades K to 8 at the school and read to a total of 96 students.
