At some schools, we have been asked to stay for lunch, which is something new in the last 3 years. At lunchtime, the children have an opportunity to ask our firefighters as many questions as they would like. Each firefighter sits at the lunch tables with the children, putting them all on the same level.
Some schools ask us to do a demonstration of different things we do. Here on the left is a firefighter "gearing up" do do some rappeling (decending at a controlled rate of speed) from our ladder truck. This is a skill we would use if we were conducting a rescue in many different circumstances.
If your school or daycare would like to schedule a fire prevention program, contact Assistant Chief Craig Hanzl at Station 36;
