Real Firefighters


There is something special about getting a visit from REAL FIRE FIGHTERS.  They are heroes, community helpers, and a symbol of bravery and courage.  I am so thankful that fire fighters know how to connect with children in their community and come down to their level.  These fire fighters jumped right in with smiles, chatted down on their knees with the children, answered their questions, and engaged them in conversation.  I wonder if they know how much impact they have on the lives of children.


We had a ladder truck come to school and they took the ladder way up into the sky.  The kids watched a fire fighter climb up it.



They put down the stabilizers and one of our children got to press the buttons to do that.




The EMS and their ambulance also came to our school this day!  We fit 16 children and a teacher inside it!  The paramedic was great at showing some of the equipment and the children enjoyed exploring this emergency vehicle.  It has expanded the play in our block centre with the emergency vehicles.  The ambulance come now off the shelf and assists the fire fighters.

THANK YOU TO OUR COMMUNITY HELPERS FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE FOR US.  WE LOVED IT AND LEARNED SOME MUCH FROM YOU.
