Firefighter FUN

 

Firetruck Luck

A Birthday party for my grandson turning 3,

Was held at the local fire station for friends and family,

Firefighters gave us a lesson in fire safety and more…

Charles demonstrated stop, drop and roll on the floor,

A look inside the firetruck was a cool thing for the kids,

But didn’t compare to the next thing they did…

The truck was connected to the hydrant and the hose to the truck,

And just like that, we were all in luck,

The water sprayed out like no one had ever seen before,

Everyone had a chance to assist the fireman, but still there was more…

The bright sun and water spray cast a huge rainbow on the ground,

While the arch of water was heavenward bound,

Then Charles started to venture out into the spray,

Running under the water in a curious way,

All the children joined in on this adventure with him,

And soon there were no dry clothes on any of them,

It had become a game of playing out in the “rain”,

Where fun and laughter did not wane,

The hospitality of the firefighters was so incredible,

It was an experience that will be unforgettable,

These brave firefighters made a huge impression on us all,

Their contribution to our community is in no way small,

They deserve recognition for the services they provide,

It was such a privilege to get a peek inside,

A fire station Birthday- a great idea- with one suggestion:

Bring a change of clothes, without question.
