We visited with Firefighters at the Montpelier Fire Department today. We learned about fire safety and how the firefighters/EMT's go about helping our community and making it a safe place to live. Students explored both the ambulance and firetrucks and asked many important questions regarding their positions. INQUIRE with your child what would happen if there were a fire at the fire station? Thanks to all the firefighters for their time and willingness to teach our younger community members about one of many essential community jobs. AND, thank you for sharing your fire hats with all of us! Throughout the year, we will be traveling each month to learn about how different places in our community help us as citizens of Montpelier. 
Before we traveled we explored firefighter books and thought about what we were wondering. Students came up with so many thoughtful questions to ask the firefighters!
