Community Visit to the Fire Station

We had a great visit to the Montpelier Fire Department today and met three firefighters! We reviewed fire safety and what to do if there is a fire in your home. Does your family have an evacuation plan with a safe meeting spot?  We watched a firefighter put on the "turnout gear" and use an oxygen tank and mask. Then, we broke into smaller groups to explore the inside and outside of a fire truck and ambulance. As you can imagine, there was lots of firefighter play at choice time! Tomorrow, we will reflect on our trip in our community journals.  Ask your child to tell you more!
