I'll be visiting my son's school tomorrow for Career Day and was hoping for a little input.  I don't have to do a formal presentation or anything, just stand by the pumper all day and answer questions and talk to the kids. 


Anyone got any interesting facts, talking points or kid friendly FireFighter related jokes that I can use to keep the kids entertained.  A google for FireFighter jokes returned quite a few but except for a couple about using the dalmations to find the fire hydrants and why we wear suspenders most weren't kid friendly : )

 

I figure I'll tell them about what we do, show them our PPE and SCBA, let the see (but not touch) the extrication tools and maybe I can convince the probie to run some donning and doffing 2 minute drills.  My guess is between the remote controlled Sparky and the questions the kids will come up with they'll stay plenty entertained but I always hate to be caught without anything else to say.

 

Thanks
Eric

Let the kids spray the booster line. They always seem to enjoy it.
You could always surreptitiously set one of the little tikes on fire, then demonstrate extinguishment techniques...
YES! Spraying the booster line always seems to brighten up their day!
