Firetruck!

Today was an exciting day around Ambrose. After a fire drill everyone got to see the firetruck & the equipment the firefighters use. The Pine kids were able to ask a bunch of questions in addition to looking at different tools firefighters use. 

After the presentation, the kids had a chance to walk around the truck and look at all of the different parts. One firefighter even took a few minutes to answer some questions. 

"What do you need the helmet for?"

"We use it to protect our head if anything falls during a fire. Just like if you wear a helmet when you ride a bike!"

This firefighter talked about his favorite tool he uses if he has to go into a house during a fire. It's multi-functional that includes an ax and a crowbar (he had a different name for it, but I didn't hear it). 

The firefighter also showed the kids a heat sensor. 

The experience was fascinating and provided the kids with an opportunity to ask questions and even get a better look at what firefighters need in order to help those who are in trouble during a fire. It was a really fun day!
