Chalybeate Head Start enjoyed a fun visit yesterday from a real-life fireman! 🚒👨‍🚒 Fireman Chris came to visit the children and teach them all about what he does!

The children learned important fire safety skills 🔥🧯, what to do in a fire emergency, and all the parts of a fireman's uniform. Fireman Chris talked to the children about how even though some kids get nervous seeing their uniforms, they are always there to help. ❤️

This was a wonderful interactive visit, and the kids even got to take home their own fireman hat! 🎩🔥😊
