Sibcy Cline employees took their second-grade Adopt A Class from the Evanston Academy on a field trip to the Cincinnati Fire Museum. The children learned all about Cincinnati firefighting history and enjoyed lunch from – McDonald’s.

The children had been studying firefighting and firefighters in their classroom. This trip brought their lessons to life! (Did you know the first professionally paid firefighters originated in Cincinnati?)

The kids enjoyed historical items early firefighters used like leather water buckets, horse drawn carriages, lanterns and more. Adults and children were surprised to learn how big and heavy water hoses are.

And, guess what – they even got to slide down a real firefighter pole!
