Fire Department Annual Open House

Another annual family tradition has come and gone - the Fridley Fire Dept. Open House. They put on a good show - lots of fire engines and other official city machines (police cars, snow plows, construction equip., etc.) for the kids to climb in, free prizes, free food, Home Depot kids and an area to build them, fun activities and really cool demos. Our favorite is when they set a mock living room on fire with a toaster. Really makes you want to go home and practice your fire drills - the entire room is usually engulfed in less than 2 minutes. This year they added rides around the block in an old fashioned, collector fire engine. See the pics below.
