Fire Station Phobia

Today Maddison's Preschool went on a field trip to the fire station and we were told of it last Thursday and for days every time the field trip was mentioned she would cry and say she did not want to go. We finally found out why she did not want to go and that was because she thought she had to go into the station that was on fire and it scared her to death. So last night we drove passed the fire station and showed her that it was not on fire and that it was where they parked the firetrucks. After she saw it she was ready for the field trip she had a blast. They talked to the kids about what the firemen wear, what they sound like with their masks on, that you should have a meeting place if there is an emergency and what the inside of a fire truck looks like.
