well, we’ve been to the fire station before, but never on a tour like this!

we saw nearly every nook and cranny.  the red bedspreads and the fire pole being behind a screen door were a couple of my personal highlights.  our first fire fighter guide was called out to an actual emergency mid-tour.  one of our preschool daddies is a fire fighter too, so it was nice to have him take over for a little bit.

come along on a photo tour!

i think there were as many favorite parts of the day as they were children.  the fire fighter surprising us by coming down on the pole was a highlight.

going in and out of the ambulances and fire trucks was an unexpected highlight.

trying on fire fighter uniforms was a highlight…and surprisingly heavy!  and hot!

looking at tools just like we saw in our book was a highlight!

thank you, families, for coming along.

and thank you, newton fire department!
