I took the kids to the Ribbon Cutting of the UFA 123 Fire Station here in Herriman. We had a great time. The firemen were so nice and so friendly to the kids. They gave them firemen hats, and badges. We then sat in and listened for an hour about the UFA and the construction of the station. Afterwards we went into the garage and they cut the ribbon. The kids thought this was so much fun ... the scissors are HUGE!! Afterward, they have a tradition that when they open a new station they spray down and dry the engine. So they had the truck out front. They sprayed it down and then let the kids dry it with towels. They thought they were so cool. Then they had all the kids go to the front on the engine and push it back into the bay. We then were able to look at the fire truck and tour the building. The thing the kids were most excited about was the cookie they were given. We had such a fun time. We are thankful for our Fire Fighters, they do such a great job!!! The new station is huge and amazing, they are pretty lucky!
