Are you smarter than a 2nd grader?

     If you came home and there was a pool of water in your home from a leak, would you know what to do? Many of Grand Junction's second graders would thanks to the Mesa County Safety Council's Safety Fair. At the fair, many vendors and volunteers shared with students about many hazards that exist in Western Colorado from wildlife to crossing railroad tracks.
     SERVPRO of Grand Junction taught students how to safely determine if water needs to be shut off in the event of an emergency. At the booth, it was stressed that electricity and water do not mix. Students than ran a relay to shut off a water valve that they were asked to find the location of in their own home. Students were given tools to locate the shut off and were asked to have their parents find it with them.
