Field Trip

Last night the kids and I joined the church youth group for a field trip through a Fargo Fire Station. The station is quite new (on 15th St. N for the locals) and is quite amazing. The facilities are spacious and up to date, the fire fighters friendly and informative. Incredibly, they managed to keep the interest of the children from age 4 through 15. There wasn't a single highlight to note, in fact, there were several - the model of Fargo that is used to work with other agencies on disaster drills to assure that responses are coordinated between each agency (the kids just saw a really neat model that looked like a model railroad); of course, the cool fire truck-lights and sirens- and equipment; and watching several firemen slide down the fire pole! Thanks guys!
