The Centre Wellington Fire and Rescue station in Fergus held their annual open house today. They had fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, an inflatable house, and a mobile fire education trailer. They also had live demonstrations of car extrications and high-angle rescues, which are important in this area for pulling people and animals out of the gorge.

The kids had a lot of fun exploring. One of the firefighters offered to take a family photo on top of the fire truck. It turned out pretty well!
