Yesterday, 10/5, Alex and I went to the Waterford Regional FD Open House. They put on a spectacular show. First off they had every active Waterford based Engine, Rescue, and Tower there and on display. This allowed me to get some great pics.
Second they had lots of great activities for the kids. They had a smoke house there to go in and see how to safely exit a "burning" building. They put on a puppet show (I'm told it was an award winning show) geared towards preventing kitchen fires, which Alex didn't seem to care about, since there were BRTs (Big Red Trucks) outside. They had a "burning" house for kids to put out with a real fire hose, firefighting gear for the kids to try on, and even "Ember" a 4 year old Dalmatian owned by one of the firefighters who has become the station mascot.
There was also some demonstrations put on, including an extrication display. There was hot dogs, chips, cookies, and pop all for free for those in attendance along with your other routine open house giveaways. They were supposed to have Superior Air-Med 1 stop by, but due to the weather conditions they were grounded.
I have posted a few pics on this blog, but if you would like to see more here is a link to my Facebook page with more pics, just look under the albums for the pics you want to see. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Station-4-Photos/144483915759045
