A Visit to the Fire Station

Last Friday Riley got to visit one of the Jacksonville Fire Stations with some friends. He got to see what they store on the trucks, the hoses, sit in the seats on the truck as well as check out the equipment a fire fighter must wear while fighting a fire. He also got to see a ladder truck with the ladder extended. That was probably the best part...well, except when we got to go inside the fire house and sit in the comfy Lazy Boys and watch the Olympics on the big screen t.v. The kids also enjoyed seeing where the fire fighters sleep and eat. Riley was able to find our house on the large map of the area that they had drawn on the wall.
