Steffanie Peterson, first-year nursing student, “fights” the virtual fire and successfully extinguishes it at the Mequon campus Safety Fair.
If a fire starts near you are you prepared to extinguish it? Students had the opportunity to learn about the features of fire extinguishers and to use one to put out a virtual fire at the Mequon campus on Oct. 10 and the West Allis campus on Oct. 24 during the MATC Safety Fair. Campus Public Safety officers were on hand to also assist students in signing up for RaveAlert, the school’s system to provide emergency and school-closing alert messages to students, faculty and staff.
