Fire Safety

October is Fire Safety month.  Yesterday, the Buffalo Fire Department came to show the children what equipment is on one of their fire trucks.  The children even got to get into the truck one at a time.

Probably the best part was having the firefighter try on all his gear so the children could see what he looks like in it.  Sometimes children will become afraid of a firefighter in full gear and hide rather than let the firefighter help.

This was a great chance to review fire safety rules.
The only question the children seemed to have trouble with was:  Where is your family's meeting spot once you are out and away from the fire?  You may want to review this one at home!
