Big excitement! The fire truck and ambulance came to visit us at school.
This year, they actually had to make TWO visits. The first one was super short because they had to dash off to help someone! (That's why the people and clothes are slightly different in the pictures.)
One firefighter tried on his mask to show the children what it looked like. See! It's not scary.
The Bunnies even got to sit in the driver's seat and GUESS WHAT! Firefighters wear seatbelts!
This year the Bunnies got to go in the ambulance to check it all out. They saw the bed on wheels and all the medicine and bandages. One of them commented that it looked like a doctor's office. Great observation!
We love being able to interact with our community helpers. Having real experiences with firefighters helps children understand their role in our community.
NOTE: One of the most important concepts we emphasize is that firefighters uniforms are NOT scary and that if one of those guys ever comes to your house, DO NOT HIDE. Children should jump out and say "Here I am!!"
