Residents got to take turns sitting in the fire truck and check out the equipment including a bucket ladder! Firefighters also demonstrated how they’re trained to fall out of a window safely.

“We had a great time learning about the trucks and all the equipment on them,” said Horizons Activities Director Patricia Schultz. “The fireman were extremely kind and answered all the questions the ladies had, and they had a lot!”
