Firetruck Fun

Every year our local fire department pays us a visit.  It is such a privilege to interact directly with our community helpers.

We learned about their clothes and where they sit in the truck.

We learned that the front bumper of the firetruck contains a special hose just for car fires.

We learned about the tools firefighters carry on their truck.

We even had a chance to learn about an ambulance.  These firefighters talked about an ambulance being like a doctor's office on wheels.

All of their supplies are in the cabinets around the walls.

The firefighters rolled out the stretcher so the Bunnies could sit on the benches and walk through from front to back.

This firefighter talked about her stethoscope and how she listens to a patient's heart and lungs.

Some Bunnies preferred to learn about the ambulance from a distance, so they got a very close look at the bed on wheels.

Everyone was very brave and even a few asked questions.  Mostly the Bunnies watched and listened and added to their knowledge of the role of firefighters.
