Town of Apex Fire Department issued the following announcement on June 29.
Apex firefighters have a new tool to uniquely serve and meet the needs of everyone in our community!
The Apex Fire Department recently added sensory kits to every fire truck to help provide calming tools in emergency situations.
These kits aim to give people of all abilities something specific to focus on and help them manage their emotions in a stressful environment.
Firefighters were also trained on when, where, and how to use these kits, specifically regarding interactions with children with special needs.
Watch along as Firefighter Strickland and Ms. Ealy, from Compleat Kidz, talk about the sensory kits!
