Firefighters!


The firefighters came to visit the first graders today. They taught the kids all about the gear and trucks, as well as going over how to evacuate a building if it's on fire. They have some really neat tools to use with the students, including a toy phone on which they can practice dialing 911. A recorded 911 operator's voice answers, so they can really hear what it would sound like and practice what they would need to say in an emergency. The kids asked some great questions like, "Are the seats on the fire truck comfy?"


Although it was a very educational afternoon, Kassia and I spent a little time posing on the firetruck.

We had the same crew the day before. No posing though, they got a call from our school and had to go back into the nurses office. Bummer, you guys are cute though.
