Fire Safety

Saturday, Rigby was having a fire safety day at the firehouse - meant mainly for children. So we decided to swing by. The little ones were really excited. First we stopped at the smoke trailer. We learned about different fire hazards around the house and how we need to be careful. Then they filled the trailer with smoke and had the kids get on their hands and knees and crawl to the bedroom, where they made their escape by climbing out the window.
After they climbed out windows, we went around to a lot of different stations they had set up. Their absolute favorite was using the fire extinguisher to put out a fire. They each got a chance to use it - I just wish I had pictures from the front. Sorry!

Kind of a funny side note..this guy that is helping the girls hold the 10 pounder extinguisher, used to help Kyle get all of the extinguishers ready for RA/HR fire training. He told me how he got to fill all of them back up. It just reminded me of the video that Kyle had made - in his extreme monotone voice and the line that says......"Fire is hot." I know some of you will get a laugh out of that!

Anyway, after all that fun they had cake and prizes - where we actually won two smoke/fire detectors. They will go great in the basement. They had this little remote activated fire engine that the girls liked...although you couldn't tell. They got stickers and a smokey the bear pin to wear. All in all, it was a fun time and the kids learned a lot.
