Firemen rule!

Moe is a fireman at Longview Fire Station No.2 and we got to follow him around their fancy new station this morning.

Moe showed us all of the things they wear and told us how it protects them from the flames and smoke. (I thought the mask sounded a lot like Darth Vader)

Can you tell how much they're loving all of this?

Then Fireman Jason showed us how he puts on his suit.

And let us touch the suit if we wanted.

We learned to check the door to see if it's hot before opening it.

We learned to crawl on the ground to stay below the smoke line.

And we learned to

STOP

DROP

and ROLL

Then we got to see their awesome new kitchen

and learned that they have to keep each different crew's fridge locked so they don't steal food from each other.

We even got to check out where they sleep.

They each have their own little room.

Then we got to see the

FIRE TRUCK!!!!

And all of it's gadgets

(that's Moe's new coat)

So attentive!

The kids even got to get on the firetruck and walk through.

Jackson snuck through twice.

Caroline didn't want to go in.

Then the kids got to count to 5 to help Fireman Jason know when to turn on the lights and the siren.

The siren was LOUD!

It was such a fun morning!
