Fire Safety Day

Last night one of our neighboring towns had their Fire Safety Day. Tyler just loves anything that moves, so we took him out there to see all the trucks.

Here Tyler got to go inside a SWAT truck. The driver of the truck told him (and Neal) all about how much he loves to run things over with the truck (that costs $400,000)!

Tyler also got to sit inside a Medevac helicopter. Little does he know, about a year ago he almost had to take a ride in one himself.

Later that night, we were standing near the helicopter when they got a call, so we watched it take off just feet away from us. It was really neat (and nerve racking) to be so close while it was taking off.

Here we're enjoying some yummy (ok, maybe just edible) hot dogs for dinner.
At the end of the night, they had a burn demonstration where they set a small living room on fire to show how quickly a fire can spread. It was enough to make you have nightmares. The whole thing only lasted a little over 2 minutes and the whole room was engulfed in flames. Very scary!
