Fire Station Visit

This morning Zach, Lucia and I went to the fire station. We had a great time! One of the fire fighters read us a story and explained what we need to do in a fire - "get out and stay out". He told us that you need to "meet at the letterbox and wait for the fire engine to arrive". He also made sure that if the kids found matches or lighters they knew what to do with them - i.e. give them to an adult to put away.

After that we got to look at the fire engine and see where they kept the hoses and spare air.  Zach even tried on a big fire helmet. Zach got to be the driver of the fire truck and we all checked out the back seats. After that Lucia and Zach both had a turn a spraying the big hose. They loved the big round fire stickers that they got too.

As we left we looked at the fire hydrant and listened to the fire engine siren going we-u we-u we-u. What a great time we all had! Zach definitely wants to be a fireman when he grows up! He came home and got dressed in his fireman costume straight away!
