With October underway, we made sure to schedule a visit from our local fire department. They brought a fire truck and ambulance, showed us all of their equipment, and reviewed fire safety and prevention. It was a great in-school field trip and a nice way to connect with the community!!
The kids were able to see how their gear was always ready to go even when the firefighters weren't in the truck:
They couldn't believe the pump system:
And they really loved seeing the carabiner:
(actually, I should re-phrase that...
they really loved saying carabiner over and over and over again!!)
If you happen to have a firefighter come for an in-school visit,
here's a follow-up reflection sheet:
{have the students write the name of your fire department or firefighter
under the3...2...1...We Had Some Fun With title}

Girl, you are awesome! Thank you for sharing this! Fire safety day is TOMORROW! We are all set up for our firefighter visit and other activities, but I'm going to have to make copies of the homework you posted to send home tomorrow! We had one that was set to go home, but it's not as involved as this one...and I love more family/student interaction with homework. Thank you, thank you! :o)
