Our local firehouse in Halifax has a wonderful Open House in October every year (coinciding with Fire Prevention Week). My son looks forward to this day almost as much as Christmas or his birthday (maybe even more than those things). It's a really nice event. They usually have several rescue vehicles on display (police car, fire truck, ambulance), a little trailer set up to teach about fire safety, Smoky the Bear and several other displays with small give aways (pencils, coloring books, etc). They have firetruck rides and a couple of years they even had bucket rides (these may have been discontinued). *Updated 10/09 - the bucket rides were back this year!
The food is great and it's all free but donations are more than welcome of course. They usually have chicken corn soup, hot dogs and bbq chicken meals.
I believe other stations have similar events during Fire Safety Week so keep your eyes open in October.
Please add your comments regarding this activity or let me know if you have any questions about it that I might be able to answer.
