This morning two cars pulled up to Fire Station #1 and 7 small children and two adults piled out and headed for the door. I asked the two other firefighters standing near the door with me if there was a birthday party or tour scheduled, neither one thought so.
Up came the children with two boxes of donuts as a thank you to the department for attending their block party earlier this month. The kids ranged in ages from about 3 months to 4 or 5 years old. (not pictured was the littlest one, he was sleeping) A set of triplets included! What a great way to start Friday morning off.
We gave the kids a quick tour of the trucks and handed out some kid sized fire helmets. One of the parents even took interest in joining our organization and left with a recruit packet.
This visit is just one of the many reasons that being a firefighter is a great career whether it’s as a volunteer or as a full-time career. Thank you for the visit, the donuts were good too!
