Public safety day

Eight-year-old Cody Maes holds the nozzle of a bladder bag while surround by fire and medical personnel at a booth for the El Malpais National Parks fire department during a safety fair at Grants High School Saturday. The bladder bag are typically used to put out fires where vehicles cannot reach but were available for kids at the fair to try out by squirting the balls from the tops of the safety cones. — © 2009 Gallup Independent / Cable Hoover
