Fire Safety Gets Personal--Omaha World Herald

Earlier this year, Joey Anderson and his family escaped a fire that extensively damaged their home. This 11 year old boy is now a volunteer for the Red Cross and the United Way. He and five other youth volunteers performed Friday for, using Sesame Street characters to teach three main messages: “Get Out and Stay Out,” “Stop, Drop and Roll” and “What is Hot?” Anderson stated, “After I experienced a house fire, I thought it would be nice to show young kids what not to do,” he said.
I think when these types of events happen, those people really do realize "WOW! I could have died." It really makes a difference in people. Makes them realize a lot. I think it's great Joey Anderson took his experience and shared it to those who need the knowlegde about fire safety.
