CROTON'S DEPUTY CHIEF TEX DINKLER VISITS HOLY NAME OF MARY'S MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Just got word that Deputy Chief Tex Dinkler recently visited Holy Name of Mary's Montessori School to speak with the children about what to do in case of a fire. They learned that smoke rises to the ceiling because it is lighter than air, and that they should try to stay low during a fire. Deputy Chief Tex encouraged the children to have fire escape plans in thier own homes as well as having one place where the whole family would meet once outside the home. Deputy Chief Tex put on his complete uniform including the mask, so the children would see it and not be afraid in the event of a real emergency. Later they all went outside and the children had a turn to go inside the fire truck.
