Kids put on firefighter hats, climbed into first responder vehicles and even saw a helicopter touch down Sunday morning in Kansasville.
The Kansasville Fire and Rescue Department held its annual Pancake Breakfast and Safety Day again at its station, 23730 Durand Avenue, after last year’s event was canceled due to the pandemic. Hundreds of community members got a chance to increase their emergency preparedness at demonstrations arranged by the department and, of course, eat pancakes.
There were opportunities for children to extinguish a controlled fire and use a fire hose, guided by Kansasville’s crew of firefighters. A huge firefighter’s ladder towered over the parking lot, and a Flight for Life helicopter landed near the building.
