Junior Firefighters
This week’s exciting Storytime for toddlers and preschoolers at the Lewisville Library was linked to National Fire Prevention Week (October 5–11).
On Monday Chief Scott (R. S. Alderman) of the Lewisville Fire Department read some popular children’s stories on firefighting, such as Curious George and the Firefighters, to a group of lively toddlers. The preschoolers’ Storytime took place on Tuesday morning.
Both days the children also colored in firefighter coloring books, and they proudly wore the “Junior Firefighter” stickers and the bright red firefighter helmets provided by the Lewisville Fire Department.
For a real show-and-tell, Chief Scott brought some of the gear he actually wears when responding to fire calls. He invited the children to come up front to look at and handle the gear — his fire suit, boots, helmet and gloves.
A few of the young Junior Firefighters appeared eager to suit up on the spot and join Chief Scott on the next fire call!
