Fire Department

Last week a few moms and I decided to take a tour of the local fire department with the kids. What fun! I baked a few dozen cookies, and Mariela made some scones, to get on their good side, and they gave us a tour of the whole department instead of just the truck!

The tour began in the living areas, they showed us the kitchen and the recreational area. They had a pretty sweet tv and some nice recliners! The fire fighters explained to us they work a 48 hour shift, which means sleeping at the station. They made sure to point out each shift has their own pantry with a lock on it, apparently they have to hide their food! We then got to take a peek at one of the rooms, equipped with 3 lockers, each with their own lock. They turned the lights off and did a demonstration of a call tone for us, they lights came on and the wall has a scrolling marquee on it that lit up to show the call type and which truck will be taken.

Next, the fun was about to begin! We went outside to check out the ladder truck and all of it's neat gadgets. The fire fighters were really great with the kids, they showed us the inside of the truck, the hoses, and even turned the lights on for us! Here are a few snap shots from the fun we had:
