Visiting with Norfolk Fire-Rescue

July 27, 2015




The Norfolk Public Library has been offering some amazing free programs this summer. Last week, the Larchmont branch hosted one: a visit by the Norfolk Fire-Rescue. Even though she has declared she has no interest in firefighting since red is no longer her favorite color (a serious consideration for future career priorities), A. enjoyed seeing the fire truck up close and even getting to sit up front and pretend to drive. 

The visit was also a good chance tohere
review (or in our case, bring up) the topic of fire safety with the kids: from planning a meeting place and escape route should their be a fire in the home, to teaching the kids about calling 911, to even meeting a firefighter in full gear so that children won't be scared in an emergency, it was all good information to know. Norfolk Fire-Rescue provides free resources on fire safety

Did you know you can schedule a fire truck visit to your kids school or community center?  You can also call to schedule a tour of a local fire station (this might have to go on our next year's not-bummer-summer list!) There's also the Norfolk Police and Fire Museum downtown, which we visited a couple of years ago. Teeny-weeny Anouk! Awwww.
