Larry Shapiro captured a series of memorable moments from the Buffalo Grove Fire Department's open house on Saturday, September 21st. The event brought together families and fire safety enthusiasts for an exciting day filled with hands-on experiences and educational demonstrations.
Among the highlights was the opportunity to ride on the Mundelin fire engine, where kids and adults alike enjoyed the thrill of a fire truck ride. A long line of eager participants waited their turn, showing just how popular the experience was. One image shows a child simulating a rescue from a below-grade entrapment, highlighting the department's commitment to public education and preparedness.
Another photo captures two brothers sharing a seat in a fire engine, clearly enjoying the moment. A firefighter greets a young visitor, demonstrating the friendly and approachable nature of the department. Hundreds gathered to watch the arrival of Flight For Life, the helicopter that always draws a crowd at such events. The helicopter itself became a major attraction, with people of all ages fascinated by its presence.
A child slides down the fire pole, a classic feature that never fails to amuse. The vehicle extrication demo was another hit, as children watched in awe while firefighters demonstrated how they rescue people from collapsed vehicles. A live fire demonstration featuring side-by-side flames drew a large audience, with parents and kids watching closely as firefighters tackled the blaze.
During the junior firefighter challenge, a young boy receives guidance from a firefighter, learning how to handle a hand line. Another shot shows children learning to use a fire extinguisher, reinforcing important safety skills. A gallery with many more images can be found HERE.
