Clark County Fire District No 6

Once a year the good men and women of Clark County Fire District #6 open their fire station to the masses. They allow young and old to come and see how they live, what they do and then add some incredible interactive displays for the kids (and kids at heart).
The Tax Deduction thinks he is a fire fighter, he has scores of fire trucks, fire fighter outfits and fire fighter figures to play with. So, when we brought him back here for the second straight year he just considered himself at home among his brother and sister fire fighters. So you can imagine that the young Tax Deduction was nothing short of a sheet of teeth from beginning to end.
The open house is an amazing co-​operative effort with many companies including the electric company, water company, county sheriff and ambulance companies all bringing educational displays, some interactive, some not, to show young kids (and old kids) how to be safe. The fire fighters serve soda, popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs and chips all for no charge. There are some donation boots spread about for those that wish to contribute and everyone did gladly.
Among the highlights were a real fire hose (small one) that the kids could spray at a wooden «fire» and when the water stream hit it the «fire» would spin. A antique fire truck was giving rides around the block. Extrication demonstrations with the jaws of life. Sheriff’s K9 Unit demonstrations. A landing of a Life Flight Helicopter right on the grounds (and the kids got to climb in for a while). Fire trucks open for kids to crawl around in and much much more. One of the best things was for $ 10 they would sell you a quality bike helmet and have people fit it to your child properly. That is worth so much more than $ 10!
The open house is every first Saturday of June, it is totally kid friendly and beyond. If you have a little one who’s fireman or firewoman crazy this is the place.
