Today we were very happy to be able to tour the Fire Hall. We had two amazing tour guides, Mr. Austin and Mr. Taylor. They taught us a lot about the trucks and equipment used to fight fires and rescue people.

We were very excited to see their new Engine! We were even the first group to tour through it. There were so many levers and buttons inside. On the outside there were so many doors and compartments that all of the equipment fit into. They even keep hoses in the bumper!

We really liked the Aerial truck with the ladder that can go so high you can see Saskatoon and Osler at the same time! We thought it would be really neat to be up that high.

We saw the clothes that all of the Fire Fighters wear to fight fires and the clothes that they wear to go to other emergencies. They have to be able to get changed into their emergency clothing very quickly.

One other neat thing about our tour was were also the last class to see their very old (Mr. Austin even said the truck was older than our parents) truck! On the old truck the fire fighters had to ride on the outside and hang on really tight on the way to a fire.

The Fire Hall is having an open house/BBQ on Wednesday October 8th from 6-8. Everyone is welcome to attend!
