I have been doing this close to 30 years and have yet to see a child injured in any fire station and have seen trucks roll out of station going on calls with them visiting. Many departments actually let kids climb on the fire truck and spray water from hoses. Obviously they are supervised it ain't a playground.
Bob you're justifying.
Yes, fire departments do allow children to come to the stations under very controlled situations and they are there for short duration's...not the day! That was not the case with your grandchild!
