Fireman Michael at the Fire Station
Michael and I went to the Williston Fire Department's open house this past weekend. Michael has been so excited to learn about fire safety at home and he has been dressing up as a fireman so it was only natural that he should go dressed up as a fireman to see the trucks.
The firemen at the station spent a lot of time with Michael. They showed him so many of their tools they use to help get people out of homes and cars and to keep them all safe. He also held the water hose.
The Fireman here gave Michael a badge to wear and made him a volunteer fireman at the station. Michael really liked that.
The firemen really liked listening to Michael ask questions
and liked his excitement at being there.
The firemen took Michael to the trucks and let him put on the lights.
Michael went out to see the lights that he turned on.
He squeezed his hands into fists and giggled while he
jumped in place. True joy! It was so sweet!
Here he is following one of the fireman to the tower truck.
And he found another fireman that was just his size!
Michael is learning about the jaws of life.
Here he is listening about how they open the big doors to let the fire trucks out when there is a fire.
Michael listened to the fireman as he told him about how they also
can help people who are hurt. He showed
him the ambulance and they both got inside.
They pulled out teddy bears that they
give to kids who are scared
when they come to help.
Michael asked what each button and lever here did!
He rang the bell they use at the parades.
