Future Firemen

This week was Fire Prevention week. We went to the Sunset City Fire Station's open house last night, and the kids had a ton of fun. The kids got to tour the fire engines and an ambulance. They also had the "Fire Safety Trailer" there (or whatever it's called). It's a trailer filled with fog like stuff that looked and smelled like smoke. They take the kids in and have them get on their hands and knees and show them how to feel their way out of a burning house. Hopefully the kids remember that in case they ever need to do it. They also had a little fire pit that the kids could use an extinguisher and put a fire out. I think the best part of the night for the kids was watching the LifeFlight helicopter land. Once the helicopter had landed, they let all the kids go look inside and ask the crew questions. The entire night was very eventful and educational.
