Firehouse Visit

 We got to visit the new firehouse in town!  We learned a lot!  We learned that pumper trucks are called "engines", trucks without water are called "trucks", and trucks with both a bit of water and the tall ladders are called "quints".  Sky learned about how heavy the fire gear is as she tried it on.
 We learned that even though a firefighter may look scary in their gear, we should still go to them in a fire (and not run away or hide).  Brad had to hold my hand during this demo.
 The new firehouse has a pole even though it isn't used (nostalgia I guess).

 Lila had a little chat with the fireman and was very proud of her fire badge.

 Brad had fun looking at all of the valves on the truck and he had a man to man talk with the firefighter.  Sky asked really excellent questions the whole time and kept the firefighters busy explaining everything.  It was a good time had by all!
