LA Times Tells Kids about "FIRE!"
For the past few days, the Los Angeles Times has been running a wonderful story on the history of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Written by Nancy Smiler Levinson, the multi-part story covers the early days, horse-drawn apparatus, and the conversion to motorized equipment.
It is a fun, engaging story and we highly recommend this to all families and kids, no matter where you live. Of course, we're excited to see a story on the LAFD featured, so thanks, Nancy! Note that additional episodes will be published in the Kids section of the Times website. To visit the story, you can go to latimes/features/kids to see more. And don't forget that Kids Love Fire Engines, the exciting DVD on LAFD Fire Apparatus is now available online and in the museum store. It's the perfect gift for a birthday or the holidays. Net profits go to the LAFD Museum and Fallen Firefighter memorial.
