PHOTO ESSAY - CIick for a video - Bluffton's next fire fighters are first graders in Megan Quinton's class. The students rode the 1911 Studebaker fire truck to the fire station and then learned about fire safety and it it's like to be a Bluffton fire fighter. It's part of the school and community's Fire Prevention Week education.
