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.
