We’re having a

Fire Engine Enrichment Activity

Friday, September 3rd 6:00PM – 7:00PM

Brrrnnnggg! Clack-clack-clack! Please join us for an in-house field trip. A big red fire engine and two to three firefighters will be present to coordinate a fire safety event. Firefighters will supervise fun exploration of the fire truck. Siblings are welcome to join in on the excitement! 

The Fire Safety Event had something for everyone...

What's the difference between a fire engine and fire truck? Some of us teachers were stumped.

What number do you call if Mommy or Daddy are not waking up? Important information for preschoolers to know.

Firefighter Ron dressed up in full gear and carried an axe. Then he had toddlers and preschoolers give him high fives and touch his gear. This was great exposure for our children since many children hide from firefighters during a fire. The hope is that being exposed to and seeing firefighters in full gear (in a safe environment with parents and teachers) will be an image children will remember and ease their anxiety during a possible real emergency.

Children had the most fun boarding the fire engine...again and again and again. :)
