Field Trip: Richfield Fire Department

What do you do with a kiddo that loves noise and trucks? Bring him to the fire department!


We toured the big new Richfield Fire Department building with our homeschool group a few months back. I was so impressed by the friendliness of the fire fighters, and their commitment to their community.

Plus, this is one of the only fire houses in the area with fire poles!

That's right! They still use fire polls in their two-story fire station. How's that for awesome?

During our tour, we got to see the ins and outs of the station, including a few of their rigs in the garage.





Each kiddo got a firefighter hat to bring home.
Months later, this little guy is still wearing his hat around!
