On the way to the Pumpkin Patch we saw a sign for a Firestation open house. We decided to go and check it out. Both of the boys love fire engines. It was a lot of fun and we were glad we stoped to check it out. We learned all about fire safety and what you are suppose to do in case of a fire. We got to check out all the different fire trucks the boys loved that they were able to climb into the big trucks and get a good look at them.
One of the things that we learned was how to exit your home if there was a fire. This is Noah sitting a listening. They did this in a travel trailer and after they tought the kids what to do in case of fire they took them back to another room and started the fire alarm and had some fake smoke come into the room and showed the kids how to climb out the window. After they got out the window they had to run to the mailbox and call 911 where they were asked the routine questions....Whats your name, address etc.
We got to look up close to all the different fire truck. I was quite surprized when Thomas knew all the different names to the trucks. Im sure the firemen got a kick out of Thomas he had to know what everything was on the trucks and what it did. He would point to something ask what it was and what it did. After the fireman gave him a response that he was ok with he moved down the truck to the next thing. We learned all about all the different pulley's, cables, Axe's, shovels, wood, buttons, knobs etc.
We also go to watch them rip apart this car with the Jaws of life.
Noah loved talking into the headsets.
This was right before we left. And headed on the the pumpkin patch. We all had fun and learned alot about fire safety. I highly recommend doing this with little kids. The boys loved it. I even think the Firemen had just as much fun explaining it all to the boys and sanswering all the questions.
