Fire Station No. 1

Last year, Uncle Mike moved Fire Halls. Today we were lucky to be able to get a tour of Fire Station No. 1. Camilla was more into it this time than she was last time. We checked out the trucks and Uncle Mike showed Camilla the cool gadgets inside. First they looked through the thermal gun which showed them the hot and cold areas according to color.

Next they tried out the head sets.  Uncle Mike whispered to Camilla and she listened in the big head phones. She had a big grin on her face the entire time. And of course her baby had to come along for the tour.

Hyrum even got to check out the inside of the pump truck this time! The whole time he had a finger in his mouth and just looked around at everything. He didn't have much to say.

Next we went upstairs and peeked at the excersize room and the dorms. At the end of the tour we came to the fire poles. I was ready to take the kids back down the stairs but Uncle Mike offered to take Camilla down with him. It was all she could talk about after. 

Grampa went next with Hyrum. At the bottom Camilla excitedly told about her adventure sliding down the pole with Uncle Mike, who had climbed back up to bring his new puppy down. Camilla then looked up and said, "Oh! It's puppy's turn!" and down they came. It made her giggle. 

Then Uncle Mike suited Grampa up in his gear. He almost looked like a real fire fighter!!

Thanks, Uncle Mike!
