Last week Friday, the senior kindergarten class went on a class trip to Fire Station #6 on Scott St. The students were greeted by the friendly firemen who work at the station.
One fireman backed the ladder truck out of the station and then started the process of preparing the truck for extending the ladder. They have to make sure that the truck doesn't fall over as the ladder reaches up.
The students were amazed at how high the ladder could go, but they didn't want to go into the bucket for a ride.
The pumper truck was next to come out of the station.
The students were invited to climb into the driver's seat and to explore the back seat. Some of the firemen took small groups of children to try on boots, check out the hoses, and examine the hydraulic jack.
When it was time to go, the firemen gave the students firemen hats. After several group pictures around and on the trucks, it was back to school.
