The Drexel Heights Fire District kicked off its 17th year of Mini Muster Madness on Tuesday with students at Academy Del Sol school.
“The program was originally developed in 1987 through a collaboration of Tucson-area teachers and firefighters,” according to Tracy Koslowski of the Drexel Heights Fire District.
The muster is a reward for second-grade students after a series of fire-safety lessons. They also get to practice what they learned. Muster events include the traditional bucket brigade and quickly getting into heavy firefighting gear.
