Another great field trip to the fire station. We were not very far into our tour when the whole crew was called out to a incident. They were not gone long so we waited around in our cars and in the parking lot next door for about 20 minutes and then they returned and picked up right where they left off. We learned that this particulate unit, 71, is specialized in extracting people from collapsed locations and repelling in or out for rescues.
We got to feel the pressure of holding a fire hose while it sprayed out water and see the distance of the water tank on a truck. It was a pretty chilly day so playing in the water was not so enjoyable but we still had fun. All the kids enjoyed this interactive learning opportunity and really liked all of the firefighters that we got to meet. Sure makes us grateful for these great men and women.
