Field Trip to the Fire Museum





I had the opportunity to go with Will's class this morning to the Fire Museum in Jackson. We all had a great time. Ms. Sherry, the museum curator, gave a presentation on fire safety and all the children got to stop, drop, and roll; then they got to crawl through a room filled with "smoke", and slide down the fire pole. Then we took a tour of the museum and saw all kinds of fire trucks, from current ones to vintage ones. The kids got to sit in one and ring the bell...the highlight of the morning for Will!! The firemen talked to them and let them see where they eat, sleep, and live during their shifts. One of the firemen got in a truck and turned on the lights, horn, and sirens..after that, they loaded back on the big yellow school bus and went to LeFleur's Bluff park to play and have a pizza lunch.
