The Three D Firefighters

We went to an open house at our local fire station today. It's a tiny little fire station, manned by 4 people at all times (when there should be 6). It's all on the ground floor (so no firefighter pole!), a tiny room with 6 twin beds and gym equipment, a tinier room with 6 comfy chairs and a big television to watch educational lectures on (!), a tiny computer room (or Mission Control) and a tiny Captain's office.
We saw the big truck - Engine 8, and also explored the ambulance although it is only for absolute disasters as their funding was cut and they lack the two extra people needed to run it.
We met Firefighters Dan and Dennis and together with my husband D and our daughter D - it was a collection of interested Ds! Daughter D liked climbing in the truck and pretending to drive it. Husband D enjoyed seeing all the equipment - all cleverly held on specially designed racks to stop it from getting mixed up.
Not sure who had more fun - Daughter D, Husband D or Firefighters D and D as we were their first visitors of the day!
