Girl Scouts at the Fire Station

Last weekend, we took our girl scouts to the Stony Point Fire Station to work on their first aid badge.  One of the volunteer fire fighters had agreed to teach them basic CPR and first aid, the main requirements for the badge.  As part of the afternoon, he also toured the girls around the station, gave them detailed descriptions of all the fire fighter jobs, and let them try out some of their equipment. This was a much bigger draw for the girls then we might have guessed:

Abby at the CPR dummy

Partner Celia keeping track of time

For some reason, they found this hilarious

Learning how to save a choking baby

Trying on the 75 pound first aid backpack.  The girls all agreed it was about the same size as their school backpacks

And the 70 lbs of turn-out gear

Still very giggly
