Fire Station Field Trip

We toured the Lacey Fire Station last week. First, every one needed to be a Junior Firefighter. They each got a badge to wear.

We saw the facilities including where they workout, sleep and eat.

Then one of the firefighters demonstrated how they put their special clothing on. Did you know they put their boots on and then their pants? They leave their boots attached to their pants so they can just slip them on.

The mask they wear looked and sounded pretty funny.

Next we got a look at the firetrucks. The trucks are so tall everyone needed a boost to get in it.

The kids even got a turn to ring the bell on the front bumper of the truck.

It was loud!

Before we left, we saw the old fashioned fire truck in the lobby with the fire dog (a favorite part for many of the kids).

Also in the lobby is the fire pole, but they don't use it anymore. It is just for decoration.
Thank you Lacey Fire Department for letting us come visit the fire station!
