Fire Station

Thursday we made our trek to the fire station. Before we left, we were lucky enough to have a fire fighter as our Mystery Guest Reader! Thank you to Owen's dad! You really got us thinking about fighting fires before our trip. At the station, we listened to the fire fighters share information about fire safety. One of the fire fighters put on their protective clothing so we could see how they stay safe when putting out a fire. We also learned not to be afraid of fire fighters in all their gear - they are here to help us. Next we visited the garage where all the trucks are stored. We got to go inside many trucks and even an ambulance. A big thank you to all the volunteer fire fighters who guided us on our tour. We learned a lot!
