Students at Union Elementary had the opportunity to visit the Poland Fire Department on May 21.
The Poland Rotary partnered with Union Elementary principal Mike Masucci to organize a trip for some of the Union Elementary students to visit the fire department. When the students arrived, they had the opportunity to explore the fire station and sit inside of the fire trucks.
Both the children and their parents showed their excitement and gratefulness that the Poland Rotary members and Bill O’Hara, fire prevention officer, gave them the chance to have the fire station to themselves.
Many of the students picked out different places in the fire department to get their pictures taken by themselves and with their friends. One of the students who loves all kinds of trucks was more than happy to explore the fire truck and station.
The students were supposed to plant flowers with the Poland Rotary prior to visiting the fire department, but the rain prevented that from happening. The students were still happy they got to visit the fire station, even if they didn’t have the chance to plant flowers.
The students were excited to spend time with each other outside of school while doing something that many students don’t have the opportunity to do. They also received fire hats to take home as a souvenir to remember their trip.
