We love Fire Safety Day at PPEE. Not just because it is reassuring to know what to do in case of an emergency, but because we get to see the big fire trucks!!
The Fire Chief talks to us about feeling our door before we open it; stop drop and roll if our clothes are on fire; having as safe meeting place with our family outside of our house; and remembering to call 911.
This year we got to meet Freddie the Fire Truck!
He made us laugh, but he also helped us to remember how to be safe in case of a fire!
We even got to see (and hear) a fireman with all of his protective gear on so we won't be afraid if one comes to save us.
After reviewing fire safety tips, we went outside to look at the big trucks! We learned that the cabs of the trucks were made near Charlotte, Michigan and the rest of the truck was special ordered from Nebraska.
One man welds the entire big ladder together!
We weren't allowed to climb up the big ladder, but if we did, we could have seen the stop light on Main Street! That's far!!
The firemen showed us the big legs on the ladder truck that keep it from tipping over. We also saw all the knobs and dials they have to learn how to use! Firemen have to keep taking classes to learn about the equipment!
Thank you to the Paw Paw Fire Department for coming to the Early Elementary today to teach us about fire safety! We hope we are never in a real emergency, but if we are, we know you will come help us!
