Lake Street Fire Station

We filed onto the bus, and headed down to the Lake Street fire station.  We talked about what we were excited to see all week, and we REALLY wanted to see the fire truck and the pole.  We listened to Officers Adam, Ryan, and Brad explain how to get dressed and different tools they use on the job.  Here are some photos Miss Kristen took while there.  Miss Alysia took some great ones I will send to you via email.


Watching the fire engine return and back in to the station.



Officer Ryan showed us the order of how they put their gear on.  Boots and pants stay together so they can put them on quick..

Officer Ryan showed us his oxygen tank.  In a fire there is lots of smoke and the air tank helps them breathe.
Officer Ryan completely dressed and ready for a fire.  We were shown this so we would know that it is just a man trying to help us under all that intimidation gear.


Officer Adam and AJ climbed the engine onto the ladder.  SO COOL.
