Field Trip to the Fire Station

As part of our fire safety week, we went on a field trip to our local fire station. It was such a great learning experience!

The firefighters did such a great job showing us around the station and talking to us about fire safety.
The kids were especially excited to see the fire trucks. They were even able to sit inside!

They also showed us all the equipment and tools that they keep inside the trucks to use in emergencies. It's amazing how much they carry! Then one of the firefighters showed us how fast they have to get dressed in all their gear before a fire.

He also showed us how they breathe with oxygen masks when they go into a burning building. I thought it was so great for the kids to see that so these helpers would hopefully appear less scary in an emergency situation.

Thanks to the fire station for a fun morning- and for all the work they do for our community!
