The Remote Control Fire Truck attracted these two future Firefighters

Did get the young man to look at me, but fortunately this day was filled with bright sunshine that was right in his eyes

The above young lady is looking at me from a safe place

And this young lady had no fear whatsoever as she waved to me from the big fire truck interior

I heard Mike Spaulding explaining how these youngsters might be fearful of the inside of this ambulance, but hopefully he was able to make them less fearful should they ever have to ride in an ambulance. One young man wasn't that interested however

Well, now off the seat and on to the next

Try as I might, I couldn't make this young future Fairfax Rescue Person aware of me as he concentrated on getting the bandages on the Teddy Bear

Now if they would just move that big truck ahead of us, we're outta here

The Teddy Bear & Dolls will be bandaged up in fine shape when these participants finish

Got one to notice me as the others were leaving

And the big remote fire truck is still attracting a lot of attention -- By the way, if I wasn't hearing things, it was also either talking or making noise
(http://www.vtgrandpa.com/newsclips/fxsuccess15_061014.jpg)
The Vermont State Police & Sherriff's Department were also in attendance
(http://www.vtgrandpa.com/newsclips/fxsuccess16_061014.jpg)
Oh!! And there was also food

Some of the Fairfax Firemen are shown above and all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Both our Fire Members & Rescue Members are a dedicated group of people and take great pride and satisfaction in their jobs -- Lets make sure we support them whenever they need our help
