Fire Fest

Over the weekend was the Entringen Fire Dept open house.  (Feuerwehr Fest)

I took Liam and Emil down to check it out and they were pretty impressed with the demonstration of firemen putting out a burning apartment.

They built a fake apartment living room with couch, tv, book case and Christmas tree, then set the whole thing alight.  It was pretty amazing how the wall of heat blasted the crowd when it really got going.  The TV set explodes at one point which is also pretty cool


I think by the end of this there were about 50 little future firemen in the crowd.... When we got home, I had to get all Liam's old fire trucks down from the attic so they could recreate the event in Playmobil form.
