Fire Station Number 3

Today, we went to the Jackson County Fire Station, Post Number 3. It was so exciting! We got to tour the station and see all sorts of really cool things. (There wasn't a pole.) We even got Junior firefighter badge stickers.

Here we are learning all about the ambulance. We even got to go inside of it! While we were there, the ambulance made a call so we saw the lights go on and the garage doors go up.

And here's the fire truck. They were really bright yellow because they are easier to see. Fireman Dale gave all of us fire helmets. I got two, one for my dad. We play Fire Dept. at home with the toy telephones and save things all of the tine. Now, I've got some gear to go along with my game. We went on the fire truck and they showed us all of their tools.

We also got to watch fireman Bryce suit up. Their gear weighs about 50 lbs. and they have to get it all on in less than 60 seconds. They wanted us to see what a fireman looked like so we wouldn't be scared if one ever needed to help us.

P.S. I even let mom know I needed to go potty in the middle of our tour! This was a huge accomplishment, I didn't forget and have an accident.
