Today we had some super special visitors—four firefighters from the Chattanooga Fire Dept. (and their ladder truck)! Their visit was the perfect finish of our first aid/emergency worker week!
We reviewed stop, drop, and roll, and we talked about the special equipment firefighters use.
Our K-3's were very brave around such unfamiliar people!
One of the most important lessons from today was learning not to hide from a firefighter in the event of an emergency. Often, children are frightened of firefighters wearing their scary suits, helmets, and tanks.Officer Smith put on each piece of her uniform, piece by piece, allowing the children to see that it was really a nice person underneath all that gear.
Finally, we got to walk through the truck!
Some of our kids would have stayed there all day if we'd let them!
Thank you, Station 8, for being so wonderful to our kiddos!
