A Trip to the Fire Station

Every Tuesday Delaney attends a writing workshop class. During Fire Prevention week the class got to visit the local fire station for a tour/field trip.

"I thought it was pretty neat. My favorite part was going in the fire truck.....because, well, you got to see what it was like inside the truck."--Delaney

They got to see the different equipment, trucks and boats that were used to help others when they are needed.
The firemen put on their fire gear to show the kids that it's a real person under all those masks and coats.

Inside the truck.

The department recently purchased a new ladder truck (custom built and cost over 1 million).
The tires were quite large....Liam doesn't even reach the top.
"The men are nice and I hope they will come to our house if we have a fire." --Delaney
"I just hope we never have the need for them to come!!"--Mom
