Last week k went to our local fire station with her girl scout troop. Siblings and parents were invited so I brought n along too.
k was called on to demonstrate the strength of the fireman’s steel toe boots.
I think it was good for the kids to see what a firefighter looks like with all of the gear. It might make the kids a little less afraid if they ever need to be helped by a firefighter. Can’t imagine wearing 60 pounds of gear in raging heat. Thank you, firefighters, for all you do!
Unfortunately, the truck was getting new tires, so the girls only had a brief look. Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and really seemed to enjoy interacting with the kids.
