Kindergartners Enjoy a Fire Engine Ride
Kindergartners at St. Joseph Catholic School in Libertyville were delighted to get a ride on a vintage fire engine last Friday. As a way to build awareness about Fire Prevention Week in October, the Libertyville Fire Department offers rides to children in the local schools. Kindergartners took a ride around the neighborhood on the 1946 LaFrance fire engine and waved to passersby. Lt. Jeff Schmidt of the Libertyville Fire Department told the children, "to wave to people with one hand, hold on with the other, and most of all, have fun!" This special event has been a tradition at St. Joseph Catholic School for over ten years, and kindergartner Brianna summed up the experience as, "the best day of my life!"
