A big thank you to Pend Oreille County Fire District #2 and Seattle City Light for organizing the Selkirk Elementary Safety Day on October 10! POC handed out t-shirts to students, took them through the E.D.I.T.H. (Exit Drills In The Home) fire safety house, and gave them an experience in the ambulance.
