Fire Station Visit

When you ask a young boy (and some young girls) what they want to be when he/she grows up, a lot of times that answer will be "I want to be a firefighter".  That fascination might have a lot to do with the shiny red engines we see streaming past when we are in traffic. A trip to your local fire station is a great way to spark the "what do you want to be when you grow up" conversations. 
Just FYI, drop-in visits are not encouraged since this is a job that requires quick reaction by the emergency personnel; however, if you call in advance, they will let you know when the next open house or tours are. Most tours give kids (and their excited adults) a glimpse into what goes on behind the scene. The kids may get a chance to take an up-close look at all of the equipment they have on the fire truck and sometimes get to hop in the engine seat for pictures. Consider bringing a store-bought treat for the firefighters since they are on shift for 24 hours at a time and getting to a store can be difficult.

This is a wonderful idea! My kids went a month ago when they had a opening downtown for a day. The kids learned a lot and had so much fun. Great experience!
