My Visit To The Pellston Fire Department

Posted on by

 I got to visit our local firehouse here in Pellston, Michigan where I happen to live!  My brother was doing computer work for them, and he invited me over to have a look around!  Our firefighters are all volunteers, so there isn’t always a crew in the building!  I got a look at everything without disrupting anyone and was able to photograph everything that caught my eye!

So here we go…PHOTOBLOG time!

I took these as I was walking up to the firehouse!  I think it is a very pretty building, and one that we can be very proud of!

I thought I would get a few shots of the signs that were around the building!

I ventured into the upstairs of the building, and found that it had a rather eerie feel to it!  There was dust on the floor and my shoes left prints!  That tells me that no one else has been up there in some time!  I thought this cracking paint looked like something from a haunted house, so I took a quick shot of it!  It was dark so I had to use a flash!  There is a basement in the building, but I wasn’t brave enough to go down there!  Basements often have mice, and I just don’t do mice! (:

Now for the AMAZING fire and rescue equipment:

This fire engine looked so pretty!  Just seeing it makes me feel safe in my decision to live in the beautiful village of Pellston!

This is my favorite shot of the day!

Here are some of the brave firefighter’s lockers where they have their gear ready to go the next time a call for help goes out!

This antique toy fire truck is sitting on top of someone’s desk area in the main office!  I absolutely love it! One day I hope to actually meet the fire chief and photograph his office too!  I could see through the window that he has a collection of antique clocks!  That would mean another photoblog! (:

A photo of a photo! (:  On the bulletin board they have a group photo of our volunteer firefighters posing with the big fire engine!

Just before we headed off to lunch and shopping, Andy took my camera and got this shot of me sitting on my new favorite engine!

So what is fire and rescue like where you live?  Have you ever been inside your firehouse?  If so, what was your favorite part?

THANK YOU TO EVERY PELLSTON FIREFIGHTER FOR THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY!!

As you all know, I have had a crappy few weeks! Today is my first day back babysitting after being sick and having a tooth extracted !  I can’t think of a better way to share how I am feeling today, other than through the attempted words and antics of my little man!  I will post the photo and then narrate as I go!  Just wanted to let you know how this here blog is goin’ down!

On with the narration:

I spilled my morning snack on my shirt, so I took it off! I didn’t want a clean one, and it is warm enough inside that Auntie let me go without one! Speaking of Aunt Lory,  I don’t want her to take photos of me!  So I will run and hide under the coat rack in our mud room, laughing all the way!

I pinched my finger in the hinge on David’s sunglasses that I insist on playing with!  It hurted and I cried!  Aunt Lory kept snapping away at me!  Someday I am going to steal that camera!

I got hugs and kisses from Aunt Lory and a BooBoo Bag and that made it all better!

I did eventually put on the evil sunglasses that pinched my finger!  Don’t I look rad?  I definitely got it goin’ on!

Here is me looking all cute, so you will comment on my current state of blonde curls and overall cuteness!  So, yeah, leave your comments below! ( :

I hope you have a good rest of the week!
