A highlight of the visit was when the firefighters showed off their protective gear, including their fire-resistant suits, helmets, masks, and breathing equipment. While it may look big and scary to little eyes, the firefighters explained how each piece has an important purpose in protecting them from smoke, fire, and falling objects. 🔥 #ABSSCommunity
