Calder and his class visited Columbia's Fire Station No. 1 this morning. Following a short video on fire safety we toured the station. The children were especially enamored with the pole by which the firefighters exit the top floor of the fire station on their way to a fire emergency. It took forty seconds (we all counted) for a firefighter to put on all his firefighting gear. Calder was terrified of the firefighter once he had on his bulky attire, mask, and breathing apparatus. Interestingly, Calder wasn't too keen on getting too close to the fire station's vehicles either. Normally trucks are his absolute favorites. Anyways, after our tour of the fire station, all the children received firefighter hats, which Zola and Calder proudly wore home. And once we arrived home, Calder was, again, all about the trucks, playing with his Mighty World fire rescue action figures, their tools and vehicles.
