A special visit from some of DG's finest
The DGFD was kind enough to join our neighborhood soirée—always a treat.
The kids found the truck interesting, inside and out.
Will, ready to call the shots, while Kevin drives.
Elle and Will in the back, ready to head out on a call.
The kids weren't the only ones who found the truck interesting...
Lieutenant Matt Daly—a fellow DGN grad—gave Andy the scoop, from their different roles on a call to the equipment they wear. Andy even had the opportunity to suit up in their firefighting gear!
It was a hot day already, and while their gear protects from burns, it's hardly equipped with AC.
As Andy donned a helmet and oxygen mask, Ellie asked nervously, "What you doing to my daddy?"
He sure looks cool, although I don't think "cool" was the first word that came to mind. Did I mention the gear weighs 60 pounds?
Thanks to DGFD for a fun visit! And, Daddy? Don't quit your day job. ;)
