Volunteer Firefighter Marilyn Tremblett answers playground kids questions about the fire truck.

This weeks theme for the Playground Program was safety. After a visit from the O.P.P. the children were visited by Marilyn Tremblett of the Manitouwadge Fire Department on July 22nd. Marilyn drove the fire truck over to the Recreational Center in full uniform.  The 12 children were shown everything that was important about the truck such as the hoses and the sirens.  The kids loved climbing all over the truck and had an amazing time with firefighter Marilyn. 

Safety week didn't end there, on July 23rd the children and employees, Jessica Stevens, Felicia Cain and Angele Lamothe, headed over to the Ambulance base and were given a tour by Paramedic Steve Leroux and Cori Recker. The kids thought is was "awesome!". Steve made sure the kids knew everything about the truck and how each part play a role is saving lives. The kids were allowed to climb around the back of the truck and once again loved the sirens. The kids had a great week and each one was excited to spend that time learning about what Police Officer, Fireman, and Paramedic do in their busy days. Of course they also had a ton of fun with people in professions that they look up to.
