Family Night at the SAFD Fire Academy 2009B
Last night we went to Family Night at the Fire Academy. With every graduating class they have a night like this where the cadets get to show off some of their newly learned skills to their family and the community. We enjoy going because it's fun to watch, the girls get excited about it and seeing a little of what their daddy does, and they provide free burgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks and dessert!
Here is cadet class 2009-B lined up and ready to go!
The first demo they did was a vehicle extraction. They used the jaws of life and various other tools to tear this car apart and extract the 'victim'.
Here comes the EMS crew to the rescue in their brand new ambulance!
And now the car has no roof...pretty cool tools!
Logan and Mckayla really do get such a big kick out of this sort of thing! They watch and pay attention to the details so carefully because they hear Casey talking about the different things. Our proud little Firefighter Daughters. =)
Here the cadets are about to set a Cadillac on fire.
It is now up in flames! The girls thought this was VERY cool!
It is definitely cool to see a car up in flames that is supposed to be on fire.
At one point in this fire the flames were the orange and yellow and there were also blue and purple ones...so the girls wanted to know why. We had a quick discussion on hot flames and hotter flames.
They set the car on fire twice, to everyone's delight!
Mckayla made herself quite comfortable on Casey's lap...meanwhile Casey was fairly uncomfortable sitting on the very hard, very cold bleacher bench!
The next demo was a liquid fire.
They ignited this large pool and let me tell ya, that flame was COOKIN'! It was no longer a cool, crisp evening watching the cadets while this flame was roaring.
This fire was of course the crowd favorite because it was the largest. My girls for sure were pretty thrilled with it!
We thought the cadets did a great job and wish them the best of luck in the future careers with the San Antonio Fire Department!

Looks cool! I love Casey's shirt. Josh calls his shirt his "Autism Pride" shirt. He loves it!
That's a pretty interesting activity!
