For the rest of the month,
there will be special activity days going on at local schools, and
each week one special kid will get a ride to school in a real fire
truck. The rides to
school are the award for winning the annual fire safety poster
contest. The four winning posters are currently in the LDN
Community section, under Teaching & Learning. They will
remain there throughout the month of October.

the walls in the hall. They also learned saw the department
memorial to firefighter Bahn and the victims of 9/11.

bays in the building and some of the special things the department
has, such as this special cabinet for fire hoses.

Dahm explains to the kids how the hoses are
cleaned and stowed away. |
