Fireman Gage

A few months ago, I heard about a Firehouse Museum, located in mid-town Houston that houses vintage fire trucks and is actually an old firehouse itself.

Of course, Gage is into anything related to Fireman (Fireman Sam, fire trucks, sirens, smoke,...) so much so that we actually stopped alongside a subdivision one day after he saw five different trucks tending to an emergency.

Anyway, a few weeks ago, Gage and I headed to the Firehouse Museum and had a blast. Besides being able to walk through an old firehouse and look through vintage firetrucks, we played around in the interactive room. This room had an old firepole, uniforms and hats (for the kiddos), and a mockup of the cab of a firetruck, with working lights. While the vintage stuff was cool, we spent a majority of the time in the interactive room, fighting fake fires and sliding down poles.
