On a sunny afternoon this past February, a local Girl Scout troop visited Boulder Mountain Fire’s Station 1 to learn about fire safety and work toward their Girl Scout badges. After holding their meeting in our community room, the troop was given a tour of the station by several firefighters. One of the highlights for the girls was climbing up into the cab of our biggest fire engine and sitting behind the wheel, just as our volunteers do when they respond to calls. They also got to try on structure gear and ask lots of great questions about fire safety.

We appreciated the opportunity to host these young women and the excitement they brought with them to our fire station.
