Each year when we do this I am once
again reminded of how little people view
the world around them. The first year,
I thought this is a good thing, have a firemen
give a little speech on fire safety, kids will be
wowed, it would be a fireman after all..I learned
much to my horror how completely terrified they
were once this ordinary man put on all that gear.
I realized that telling kids fireman are safe and will
protect is no comparison to the scary thing they
would observe in a fire. I had no idea how they would
view it. So now the annual visit by our local fire
department is so important because now I know
what a child's view would be. Love that our fire
department offers this, love their commitment and
dedication to this service they voluntarily provide.
