One of the highlights of the firehouse visit was the fire truck.

All the kids got the chance to climb into the truck and see how everything inside works.


Here's firefighter Alan Austin answering questions about the exterior of the truck.

Here's a shot of the truck spraying water into the air, just for the kids.

This last photo displays how firefighters can help put out a fire on a plane. See the pointy instrument at the end of the arm? It's used to cut through the plane, as shown by this demonstration where it pierced that curved metal sheet. I had never heard of anything like that before.
