A couple weeks ago Little Miss Sunshine and I went to the local fire station with some other homeschoolers for a tour.
First up- trying on a real fire helmet.
The fireman showed the equipment that's on the trucks (this cabinet held the jaws of life).
The kiddos got to climb in the cab of the truck and try on the headphones.
Then they headed outside where they got a chance to use the hose- they all thought that was the coolest thing ever!
Just before they drained the hose, all the kids balanced on it- it was hard as a rock. Then they turned off the water pressure and the water drained out and the house flattened, which the kids thought was hilarious.
It was a fun trip, and a good reminder that we still need to decide on an emergency evacuation plan and make sure we all know what to do if there's a fire.
