Safety House

One of our local fire departments has an amazing set up to help teach kids about fire safety.  We held a den meeting there on Friday when the boys were off school.

They started out exploring the fire trucks and ambulances.  Jack loved driving!

From there they watched a movie recreating a real fire.  They were smart and told the kids beforehand that everyone survived - it was pretty intense.

After the movie we went to a bedroom to talk about escape plans.  There was a fog machine that pumped smoke under the door.  The door also got warm to the touch.  The whole experience really was a great way to spark conversations about what to do in a fire.  We are very lucky to have such a great resource in our community!
