Firefighter Frenzy!

Firefighters are cool!  The Eagle Fire Department visited us in October to talk about fire safety.  

They put on ALL of their firefighting gear.  The kids were 

great observers, making sure the firefighter's skin was totally covered.  We jumped a little when they turned on the personal alarm.

Then, they used Elise to show about how much weight they are carrying around fully dressed!  We're sure glad they do though.

They brought the firetruck this year and everyone was excited to have a turn to sit inside.  The line was quite long!

Here is Lydia having a turn.  Behind her is an air tank that sits on the seat, ready for the next alarm.  

Here are Ben, Grace, Courtney, Lydia, Elise, Maddie, Emily and Tyler posing by the HUGE tire on the truck.

They were amazed to learn that the truck can cost half a million dollars or more.  The Eagle Fire Department just bought a truck that costs a million!

Olivia, Tyler, Ashwin, Courtney, Lydia, Emily, Maddie, Elise and Brooke ham it up.  

Teachers are hamballs too!  Maria and Erin flex for the camera.  The firefighters also turned on the hose for us.  

Thanks Eagle firefighters for visiting and keeping us safe!
