Grace goes to the Fire Station

I volunteered to accompany Grace's class to the fire station. It was quite interesting. I had to go twice, as Grace's class was split in two. The kids loved it. The only part that was bad was the walk. But, they all survived it. I have to say, I would love to have the kitchen in the fire station. And, there is only one paid fire fighter on duty (as that is all they can afford) for a kitchen fit for a huge family.. The kids loved seeing the maps and trucks and beds. Grace's first quesiton, "Where is the pole they slide down on?" I had to explain that our fire station is only one story.
