The Survive Alive Firehouse in Decatur continues to teach life-saving skills to youngsters from throughout Adams County.
Members of the Decatur Fire Department hold classes each fall at the large structure situated near Safety Village in the Worthman Field complex.
Decatur Fire Chief Jeff Sheets said approximately 450 to 500 fourth grade students and chaperones took part this year.
Fourth graders from all public and parochial schools attend, along with youngsters from some Amish schools.
The Survive Alive classes began in 2000, Sheets said, and in 2020 the program reached a milestone of 10,000 students and chaperones having attended.
