Our trip to the fire station!

It was great to visit the fire station this morning! Students were able to see five fire trucks and to get inside three of them. Very exciting! We had two volunteers who showed us around the Colchester Center Fire Department--Patrick and T.J. I am so appreciative of the time they gave us today to help our students learn more about fire safety. Some of the highlights of our trip were:

• Exploring the fire engines and seeing them up close.
• Seeing the living room of the fire station.
• Asking the firefighters lots of great, relevant questions.
• Learning about the importance of smoke alarms and escape plans.
• Watching Firefighter Patrick put on his gear--60 lbs of equipment. Wow!
• Seeing two firefighters slide down the pole!

Thank you to those who were able to accompany us on this trip. Here are some photos...
