Fire Station Tour
Our play group took a tour of the Snoqualmie Fire Station last week and it was such a fun morning. Usually Ross doesn't tag along to these events but after working the night before Wyatt sweetly asked him if he wanted to go with us to the fire station and he couldn't say no to his son so we all went along. The firefighters gave us a tour of the firehouse and talked about fire safety and gave the kids a demonstration of Stop-Drop-and Roll.
Then a firefighter put on all of his gear to show the kids what he may look like if he was to rescue them during a fire.

Next, we headed outside for what the kids really wanted to see - the fire trucks!! It was impossible to get all 15 kids to sit still long enough for a group shot but I did get this snapshot of these four little cuties on the bumper of the engine.
All of the kids got to climb in the back of the engine and sit in the jump seat and try on the headphones.
Then we checked out the antique engine, which is a beauty!


The tour ended with each child receiving their very own fire helmet. We of course have quite a few of these at home but you can never have too many plastic fire helmets, especially with the abuse they take around here.
