Put Out The Fire
Our local firefighters have a new training facility. It had its grand opening today, so we headed over there to take a look. They had a bunch of fun activities set up for the kids. My daughter had a great time putting out fires and hauling firefighting equipment over an obstacle course.
The centerpiece of the new facility is a five-story training tower that comes complete with burning rooms, smoke machines, and a 60-foot elevator shaft. Police agencies will also use the tower for hostage rescue drills and other SWAT team exercises. It's basically like one big playground for grown-ups.
I have to say thanks to our tour guide, who also happens to be a regular reader of my blog. Thanks Greg!

Hey I recognize that guy!
Oh man! my girls would have loved that!
I took my tweens to a Fire station open day too when they were small, it brought back sweet memories.
Wow, Clare had the firemen at school last week too. It must be fire safety month or something.
Nice post.
I work with, and am friends with several firefighters.
It is both an honor and a privilege to know them. It is a very honorable profession.
I know everyone says they understand it, but most of the firefighters I know are mothers or fathers - and they put their lives (and therefore the well-being of their families) in jeopardy to help others each day.
They deserve our praise!
Darren - Yes, it was fire saftey week.
