Fire Truck Day!

 

 

It was "fire truck day."  This is one of the best days of the year for our boys and girls!  They LOVE everything about this event, especially getting on the truck.  Many thanks to the Lexington Fire Department for taking time out to come and teach us about fire safety.  The puppet show is the best and we loved singing all of those fun songs.

 

 

 One of the most important parts of this visit is seeing the fireman get dressed with all of his gear.  It is critical for the children to know that, although he might look and sound scary, we need to go to him.  The tanks and heavy clothes keep the firefighter safe and this is one day that the children can touch him and his gear to know that this is a person that will help us!

 

 

 We got to check out all of the important gear on the truck and even saw the most important phone number ever!!!  911 is painted right on the truck to remind us to call if we are in danger!  Don't be surprised if your child talks to you about having a fire drill at home or asks you to test your smoke detector.... we are fire safety trained!
