Marshall Fire Department firefighter Jeff Vik show Park Side kindergartners fire trucks which are used to fight fires in the city. He said other trucks are used to put out fires in the country because they have to carry their own water. Plastic hoses are used on farmsites because the hoses can get “yucky,” he said. Vik was among the firefighters who showed students around the fire station Friday. The event was part of National Fire Prevention Week, which is from Oct. 3-9.
