Station #7

On January 17, 2011, our family got to visit Chula Vista Fire Station #7 and meet two of the three firefighters that responded to our 911 call for Trevor's accident. Here's my blog entry about the accident - God's Gracious Protection. A very nice couple from our church helped us out by arranging for the visit and they took photos and video so that we could remember the day. Thanks Tom and Karen! We were glad for a chance to meet these firefighters, thank them for what they do and give them a chance to see a happy ending! Thanks to CVFD and these firefighters who took time with us that day!

Here we are telling the story of that day

Heading out for a ride on Engine 51

The kids ready for the ride!

I'm not sure who was more excited... me or the kids! I got to sit up front in the Captain's seat! =)

Their reaction to lights and sirens!

Talking after the ride

Here we are with two of the guys who responded that day... we missed meeting the other one because he was home sick.

Station 7 was dedicated on 9/11/2003 and so the front of the building is a very nice 9/11 memorial. It has the names of all the firefighters who died and also a list of the Chula Vista firefighters who went to help in the aftermath.

High Five!

Engine 57 was the one that responded to our 911 call
