  The students also donned firefighter gear, climbed aboard firetrucks and talked with firefighters they have come to know well, said Lori Schmidt, public education officer for the Scottsdale Fire Department.
  
  Wednesday's activities were a follow-up to the previous week, when the department came to the school to talk about safety steps and protection.
  
  "This is one of the cool things that we can do to complement class lessons and actually put them into practice for the children," Schmidt said. "Our guys are getting a kick out of it, and the kids are really finding someone that they can connect with. They become mentors and somebody to look up to."
  
  The fire department has already planned similar activities at two more elementary schools in Scottsdale and hopes to reach all 22 by the end of the school year, Schmidt said.

  "What price do you put on your child's safety," questioned Lori Schmidt, President of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona. She is an expert in doggie door hazards in Maricopa County and teaches parents and kids the importance of knowing how to swim and CPR and stresses supervision is not enough.
  
  "So you have to have the additional layers of protection. Put your barriers in place. That means putting you pool fence up making sure they don't have access to that. Putting door alarms on your doors and that can mean putting an alarm on you doggie door as well," Schmidt warned.
