DAY 05: 2/17 (Mon.)
rainy, later cloudy
Class, Visit Fire Department
We had a class at the study center in the morning and first talked about our weekend experience and later about American cities.
We visited a fire station District 13 in Brown Point,
Pierce County in the afternoon. We had some of our
host families come with us. The chief firefighter gave us a small lecture about their work
and we asked him some questions in return. There were four other firefighters and three
trainees, two of whom were female, at the station, and they all kindly
answered our questions. We later looked around the station, put on
a firefighter suit by turns, got on a fire truck and an aid car,
and enjoyed taking many pictures as well as talking with firefighters.
We put on a firefightter suit and a helmet by turns, and even practiced
shooting water at some targets. The visit was totally fun!
