DAY 04: 2/16 (Tues.)
cloudy
Class, Visit Fire Department

We had a class at the study center in the morning and first talked about how to communicate well with host families, and then reviewed some of our questions about firefighters and fire stations in order to get ready for the afternoon visit.

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 a few other firefighters, 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 enjoyed taking many pictures as well as talking with firefighters.  We put on a firefighter suit and a helmet by turns, and even practiced shooting water at some targets.  We totally enjoyed the visit!
