Emily's preschool went on a tour of the fire station today. I went along on the trip. I don't think any child, parent or teacher had as much fun as I did. I LOVED it!!!!!!!!!!! I could have stayed there all day looking around and asking questions. I asked so many questions that I really chawed myself. This first picture is the "man cave" where they watch t.v. and movies in BIG recliners. I think there were 20 recliners and a huge movie screen. This room joined onto the kitchen.
The kids got to go in two of the fire trucks. All the firefighters were so nice and helpful.(helpful to answers my questions.) I asked what the leading cause of house fires in our city was. The answer: candles. Steve asked me if I told them they would probably coming to our house one day. I LOVE candles and have them going all the time.
The firefighters have to be dressed and ready in 60 seconds and on a truck. They have to pull out of the station within two minutes of the alarms sound. He said that they spend much of their time training. They are all EMTs or paramedics.
I could not believe all the clothes and equipment they have to have on in 60 seconds. I stood there smiling and thinking about myself as a firefighter. I am sure I would not make it through the first day of training.
I think I liked the tour a lot more than Emily, although she did have a wonderful time!

I'm totally with you on the question thing. I remember having TONS of questions (more than the kids) and couldn't believe how much they had to do...in such a short amount of time, once the alarms sounded. Crazy!
Glad you got to go along for the FUN!
