Fire Station Field Trip

Last week k went to our local fire station with her girl scout troop.  Siblings and parents were invited so I brought n along too. 

k was called on to demonstrate the strength of the fireman’s steel toe boots.

I think it was good for the kids to see what a firefighter looks like with all of the gear.  It might make the kids a little less afraid if they ever need to be helped by a firefighter.  Can’t imagine wearing 60 pounds of gear in raging heat.  Thank you, firefighters, for all you do!

Unfortunately, the truck was getting new tires, so the girls only had a brief look.  Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and really seemed to enjoy interacting with the kids.
