The Madeira fire department came to visit us on Wednesday and the kids just LOVED IT! The firemen taught us alot of about fire safety. They taught us what to do if: 1)we find a box of matches, 2) our clothes catch on fire, 3) what to do if we wake up to a fire alarm in the house, 4) when and when NOT to call 911, 5) to let the firemen get any pets out of a house on fire and NEVER stop to bring toys with them 6) how smoke rises and how we should always crawl out of a burning house.
We watched as a firemen put on each piece of gear including air tanks, hood and mask. We gave the fireman high five as we learned never to be afraid of a fireman if he came to help us in an emergency. Some of the children were a little unsure of the fireman and how funny his voice sounded when he talked through his speaker in his mask. This was a wonderful experience for the kids to help them feel more comfortable.
After our special group time with the firemen, they took us all outside and showed us each part of their trucks. The afternoon class got to see an aerial ladder truck and an ambulance! Both classes got to get inside the fire truck and walk through! The kids were amazed at this experience and were FULL of questions!
