BLAIR MOODY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL students visits City Hall (Part 5: Fire Department)

Students from Blair Moody Elementary School received a rare treat on May 24 when they toured the City of Taylor Municipal Building, Police Department, District Court and Fire Department.

Mayor Rick Sollars took time to speak with the children in the atrium of City Hall.

At the police department, they listened to officers discuss their job, tried on SWAT gear and checked out a patrol car.

Judge Joseph Slaven took the students through a mock trial and explained the legal process in his usual upbeat way. Everyone got an assignment on that stop, including judge, jury and defendant ... it's uncertain at this time whether Judge Slaven put anyone in jail.

As usual, the final stop was the fire department, where the children learned about a firefighter’s responsibilities, toured the station's living quarters and checked out the ladder truck.

Here are photos from the Fire Station.
