Learning About Safety
Early in the school year we learn about safety. This includes the safety rules at preschool, and it includes seatbelts, fire safety, and earthquake drills, among other things.
A trip to the fire station is always important. We learn about the tools that an engine carries.
And watching the fire fighter is fascinating, no matter what he's doing.
A favorite thing to do is to get in the fire boat! We live on an Island, so water rescues are an important thing our fire fighters do.
How many Orcas can you fit on the fire fighter's bed?

This fire fighter is one of our preschool dads. He showed us all kinds of cool things!
It was fascinating!
One of the most important things we learned is what a fire fighter in full gear looks and sounds like so we won't be afraid if we ever see one during a fire. Thank you, Bainbridge Island Fire Department!
