The Fire Station

For Preschool today we went on a field trip to the Fire Station. We started out the trip by having one of the Fireman explain fire safety to the boys. He talked about not playing with matches or fire and what to do if someone is, stop dropping and rolling, when to call 911, how to test the door with your hand, crawling under the smoke to get out, and what you can do to let the fireman know where you are. It was good to have those reminders myself and it made me realize that we really need an emergency plan for our family. Good idea for f.h.e. After fire saftey we went and saw the fire trucks. The boys were in heaven. The fireman showed them where they sit and took them around the trucks and showed them where their many tools are stored in the truck. The boys got to climb in and out of the trucks and even sit in the drivers seat. They then got to see the fireman put on his uniform and explain what each piece of clothing protects. The boys then got to try on the firemans jacket and air tank. The fireman then gave each boy a fire saftey fun bag and a plastic fireman hat. I was amazed how much those trucks carry and how many situations they are prepared for. The fireman were so nice and we all had a great time.
