Today in the afternoon, the McCowan fire station

Today in the afternoon, the McCowan fire station came to our school. They showed us how the fire hoses worked. They could spray very far. I think they could spray a mile. We voted for 1 of the fireman to see which hose could spray higher of farther. The headman gave them names. The X man lost and the other one won. Then, they showed us the fire truck.

We stepped inside the fire truck and looked at all the equipment they had. They had a lot of equipment. The fireman only told us what the breathing masks and safety goggles were for. They had breath masks in case they had to breathe in smoke. The breathing masks protected them from breathing in smoke.
The safety goggles were for in case they had a truck accident. They could get the safety goggles without coming out of the truck. The fire truck was very big. They gave us frezeis to eat. I chose cream soda. I liked the flavor cream soda. It was yummy too. After that we had music class.
