Firefighter Brian Meyerholtz

Firefighter Meyerholtz came to visit all of the kindergarten students. He showed us all of the pieces that go to his uniform. His entire uniform weighs about 80 pounds. He talked about his job, and told us that he learns new things all of time so he even goes to school.

Mrs. Hales tries on the uniform. It is very heavy!

Mr. Meyerholtz shows us how firefighters move through a burning building on their hands and knees to stay below the smoke.

When he has his mask on we can hear him breathing! Kind of like Darth Vader.

We practiced stop, drop, and roll! We have to be sure to cover our face, too!
