Fire Department Open house!

We went to our town fire department open house.  We had a lot of fun and learned a lot.  They had fun activities for the kids, food, and live demonstrations.

                         Here are the kids putting out a pretend fire!  The kids loved spraying the fire hose.

 They loved playing on this "house roof."  I think they use it for training purposes.

                                             Aidan rode in the front on the "GATOR"

They showed us how they literally cut a car to get someone who is trapped inside, out. The picture above is the finished project.

They showed us how a fire progresses very rapidly.  A fire doubles in size every 30 sec.  Watch this video.  We all got a little scared, but they had it under control.
