Fire Engine #9 Comes to the Rescue!

After two years of missing out on fire engine visits, we were sooooo thrilled to meet the great guys from Station #9 (on Hogan near Houston Ave). They were suppose to send a truck on Monday from our nearest station (#15), who called and rescheduled for today... and then they called this morning and said they would not be able to come... So they called Station #9 for us and they were in our parking lot within 5 minutes from receiving the call. We were greeted by Captain Kimble as well as Charles (Driver), Jeremy (EMT) & Jared (Paramedic). They were a very friendly, funny, kind group of firemen and they really took time to spend with the children, showing them the engine, equipment, fire suit, etc. Some of the children were able to sit in the driver seat, climb through the back seat, and try on the helmet as well. I think all of them really enjoyed hearing the siren and horn and seeing the flashing lights too! I will be emailing Captain Kimble some photos, as well as making the guys a framed photo with the kids' fingerprints to thank them for coming out today! Way to go, Engine #9!
