Preschool at the Firestation

What a fun outing for our little Preschoolers. The Firestation let us bring the kids in and they got to see a fireman in his whole uniform with the mask and everything. They put the helmet on each of the kids and I think it weighed more than Felicity...in fact she almost fell over when they put it on. They let the kids get up in the firetruck and check out the equipment. As they were finishing up they actually got called out so the kids got to watch the firetruck leave for an emergency. Then they went to a classroom where one of the firemen taught them about fires and the importance of not playing with matches and fires. He also reminded them to go home and tell their parents to check the fire alarms and change the batteries every 6 months. They got their own little fire helmets and some coloring pages about fire safety. The kids really enjoyed it. I think we need to do more outings like this!
