Fire Prevention Week!!

On Wednesday we went over to Orem Fire Station 3 for their annual fire prevention week event. The kids look forward to this every year. There is popcorn, cotton candy, CPR dummies to practice on, extrication demos, safety info, pencils, stickers, fire helmets, candy, tours of the fire station, turnouts to try on, live propane fire demos, fire hoses to spray, and the fire truck and ambulance are open for the kids to play in. It is pretty dang fun!!
