Molly's UPK class went to the Endicott Firestation on Friday. It is so close to the school, that it is a walking field trip and many parents went along to help get the children safely across streets. The first thing the children did was watch a brief video about fire safety which stressed calling 911, stop-drop-and roll, get outside, don't hide, changing batteries in smoke alarms, and being careful about candles and leaving things like the stove turned on. See? I am giving you a little refresher about fire safety too!! The children then got an extensive tour of the fire station, but the grand finale was going into the huge garage and getting to see all the fire trucks up close and personal.
Molly and her friends in the big room watching the video.
The kids got to see the fireman come down the pole (yes they still use these) but my picture is a little late, I was taking it from around a corner and trying to aim up. I missed!!
The kids have always asked me where the firemen sleep when we pass by the outside. Now we know!!!
The pole from upstairs.
After fireman Dave put on his equipment, the kids got the chance to knock on his hard helmet.
Molly and some friends play ring around the rosie waiting for their turn to get on the truck.
Molly is all about being in the truck. Lots of cool stuff to look at!!
Partial group shot.
Molly had just dusted off the running board of the fire truck and was nice and dirty!
More games as we wait.....
Looking at some of the big hoses that fireman Kevin said take 2-4 men to hold onto while fighting a fire.
A perfect group shot with the firemen!!!
