Here are a few pictures of Tex learning about the fire truck.
Tex learned about the different tools on the fire truck: the hoses, pumps, axes, extension cords, huge fans, and even a bright orange cone.
Tex was surprised how big the wheels are on the truck.
Tex then learned about the fire fighters’ uniform and how it protects the fire fighters, how they breathe using their special mask and oxygen, and calling 911 when there is an emergency.
