Lisi and I were able to tag along for the fun when the Urbandale Fire Department visited the DMCS Kindergarten classes~ A great time was had by all!!And as much fun as it was to watch the kids "ooooh and aaaah" at the fire truck itself, I thought it was GREAT that the firemen had one of their own go from their fire house 'blues' to full-fire attire, complete with the oxygen tank and talking thru the mask, while the kids watched. That way, should the kids ever be in a fire, they will not be as scared to see the fire men in action. It was a really good demonstration.
But no surprise that what the kids liked, was being outside with the truck. And just before the firemen left, they turned on the lights and siren, too!!

How fun!! ;o) When I worked at the school in IN, we got to go visit a fire station and see where they lived, the cop car, the fire truck and the EMS, the kids LOVED it!!!! The kids got to sit in the cop car, turn on the siren, do the walk through of the fire truck, turn that siren on, and see what was inside the EMS. They also did the whole demo of changing clothes... Great lesson for the kids!! (they do look a little scary with the whole oxygen mask....)
