Local Fire Truck with Firefighters

 

How to Run the Fire Truck Carnival Booth:

Month/weeks before the carnival, call your local Fire Department and see if they would be willing to send out the Pumper Truck with some Firefighters in uniform to your carnival.

What do the kids do – what happens at this Carnival Booth?

Well, every Fire Department is different, but many will allow the children to climb into the Fire Truck to see what it is like to be a real Fireman!  Also, many will answer questions from kids and even parents  about their job and the “big red fire engine.”

In addition, and more importantly, this free carnival booth allows your local fire department to hand out safety brochures and get an important safety message across to an interested audience. 

Also, if this is a Volunteer Fire Department, they can have interested dads (and moms) fill out a form to find out more about joining their team!

One year, our local Volunteer Fire Department set up a fire safety puppet show for the kids. The kids could sit and watch the short 10 minute show during the carnival and learn about fire safety! After the show, the fire fighters passed out “Stop, Drop and Roll” stickers for the kids.

This is a win-win for everybody and it only takes a little bit a planning on your part!
