My sister Sheri and I took the kids to see the new Fire Station 4 today. After being located in a converted neighborhood house for years they built a HUGE new Fire Station about a mile from our house. It’s fun to watch the station “go up”. Today they had an open house celebration … with the opportunity to tour the entire station!
We started off with a personal tour of a Fire Engine and all the compartments, equipment, controls and even the inside… great fun for the kids and extremely educational. Justin and Makenna were fasinated!!
Just upon completing the Engine tour the alarm sounded and off went the truck and 3 Fireman on a call. We watched as the Fireman jumped into the Engine and raced off on a call. It was pretty exciting to see them in action.
While the Engine was gone we continued the tour of their living quarters … they live very basic Justin was quick to ask “why their TV was so small” … they have a sweet exercise room and fabulous porch/outside patio area! I guess that makes up for the small TV and Twin Beds :)
~ Ah Yes ... Elmo had to come with us ~
What a fun way to start our Saturday!!
