Salisbury Fire Department Visit

Today we had firefighters from the Salisbury Fire Department visit us at SMS to talk about fire safety. Each of us asked the firefighters a question about their jobs. We were so excited that Briele's mom was one of the firefighters that came to see us!

We got to go out to the truck and learn about all of the neat things that are on it.




We also got to climb through to check out the inside of the truck. When we came out of the other side of the truck, we tried on some of their turn-out gear. The jacket was very thick and heavy. The helmets were really heavy, too!

Regis loved wearing the gear!

They put the ladder onto the roof of our school.
Most of us said this was our favorite part of the visit.
After we checked everything out, we got to hear the horn and the siren. It was very loud, but a lot of us loved it! The firefighters came back into our classroom and talked to us about fire safety. They even gave us pamphlets, pencils, and neat erasers shaped like fire hats, fire engines, and fire hydrants. We enjoyed having them and learned a lot about fire safety and the job of a firefighter.
