On Friday the firetruck came to IEBECC and firefighter Kevin showed it to the children. The firetruck carries an ax so firemen can get inside a house or break a window, it has a flashlight and a hose for water. Fireman Kevin showed the children how the hose works and water came out! Firefighter Ryan put on the oxygen tank and a mask to show how they breathe when they go into a burning building.

In honor of Parshat Noach, the children also had a visit from a petting zoo. They had a blast from brushing the goat’s fur to holding the bunnies and birds. They had an opportunity to feed the ducks and goats, and a few brave children even held a snake!
