I don't know about the kids but I loved it!!! I had never seen a truck up close and personal like this before! First we went outside to check out their wheels...
Fireman Dave took us around the truck and showed us each part.
The fire hose. It was HEAVY! You have to be strong to be a firefighter!
He showed us all the side compartments where the water gauges are and the tools they use and even the jaws of life!
I loved how perfectly folded those hoses were!
We even got to walk through the truck!
Then we headed inside to hear more about their job itself from these
They talked about fire safety and told everyone to go home and have a fire drill with their parents. Did y'all do that?? One interesting thing they told us was to throw toys, pillows, blankets, anything we can find out our window if there's a fire and we can't get out the bedroom door. Seeing all those things will tell the firefighters there are people (children esp) inside that need help!
We practiced stop, drop, and roll and then Fireman Bobby put on all his gear!
The boots are connected to the pants so they can get them on quickly.
They said it's very important not be be afraid if the fireman if you were ever in a fire. He put on his mask and airpack and sounded just like Darth Vader! Looked a little like him too!
It was such a great visit from the SLFD! I think we may have some future firefighters on our hands!
We wrote them a thank you note and I plan to deliver it with snacks and treats tomorrow!
We are SO thankful for the fire department and all they do to keep us safe!
