Firefighter Emma Tours Station One

Story and Photo by Brother Jeremy Ray

Firefighter Emma stopped by Station One on November 28 to visit and give her regards to the Brothers and Sisters on duty that day.

She and her family moved to Sweden about six months ago, and had been unable to find a fire station where Emma could go see the fire engine. They were visiting relatives in Santa Clara, and saw Fire Station One. Time for a visit!

Emma has a favorite book that she likes to read (daily) about firefighters and fire trucks. She is two and a half years old, and was able to tell us which hose on the engine was the "suction" hose and which ones were the "fire" hose. She also pointed at Medic 1 (unprompted), and said "That one's an ambulance." Move over Sheri, there's a new Captain comin' in!
