Mark, my friend's Brie's husband is a firefighter. I had casually mentioned to him over dinner once, that Dhruv is into Fire Fighters and their books. The very next weekend, we got a chance of a lifetime! Mark and Brie invited is to the inaugration of a fire station in West Sac.
We picked up Brie and Tilden and went there early morning.
We got to see an act, with fire fighters coming down the poles and loading stuff into the fire truck. They came back and put off a pretend fire at the station. We got to see retracting ladders and firefighters climbing on them. It was just like seeing Fireman James (D's favorite book!) come to life. D sat on Mark's lap and watched the whole thing. The other cool part was, we got to see behind the scenes. We went up to the rooms of the fighters and saw how they lived.
D and Tilden had such a blast. They got to put off a pretend fire with a hose!
I am really proud of our firefighters. Its such a noble job!
