Larry Shapiro sent in some great photos from the Buffalo Grove Fire Department’s open house held last Saturday, September 21st. The event was a fantastic opportunity for the community to get up close and personal with their local firefighters and all the equipment they use.
One of the highlights was definitely the rides on the Mundelein fire engine. Kids were absolutely thrilled as they got to experience what it might feel like to ride along during an emergency call. There was quite a line for this activity, showing just how popular it was among visitors.
Another exciting moment was when a young participant saved a “victim†from a simulated below-grade entrapment. It’s always inspiring to see how seriously kids take these kinds of demonstrations, imagining themselves as heroes in action.
There were plenty of other engaging activities throughout the day. Brothers shared a seat in one of the fire trucks, creating some memorable moments. A firefighter greeted a curious young visitor, sparking interest and admiration for the profession. Hundreds gathered eagerly to welcome the arrival of Flight For Life, which is undoubtedly a crowd favorite due to its impressive presence.
The Flight For Life helicopter itself drew significant attention, with everyone wanting to get a closer look. Sliding down the fire pole was another big hit, offering kids a taste of what firefighters do every day. The vehicle extrication demo was fascinating too, showcasing the skills needed to safely rescue people from accidents involving cars.
A large group watched the side-by-side live fire demonstration, where firemen skillfully tackled a room fire. Watching such demonstrations helps educate the public about fire safety and prevention. Another dad and his child enjoyed the spectacle together, making it a bonding experience.
During the junior firefighter challenge, a young boy received guidance on using a hand line, encouraging participation and learning. Children also had the chance to learn how to use a fire extinguisher, a valuable skill that could come in handy in real-life situations.
This open house truly brought the community together while educating everyone on the importance of fire safety and the dedication of those who serve as first responders. For those who couldn’t make it or want to relive the fun, a gallery with many more images can be found HERE.
Overall, it was a wonderful event filled with excitement, education, and community spirit.
