Tuesday morning 43 students from Northwest School were invited to the Lincoln Fire Department station for breakfast. The breakfast was a part of the department's monthlong emphasis on fire safety and prevention.

The fire department invites a different group of third-grade students each year. In addition, firefighters will visit each of the schools in Lincoln during October, offering class time instruction to children in kindergarten through third grade.
