My husband is a firefighter and loves doing child education (probably why we have 5 of our own!) But if you call your local fire department they may be willing to send a truck and some guys out to let kids play.

Really, that would be fantastic! We have a firehouse a few blocks away and we walked up there a couple of years ago and the firefighters were wonderful with the children, let them in the truck showed them the equipment and the truck and slid down the pole. That was my favourite part, hee! But when I called the office to try to arrange a visit I got all kinds of runaround. So I recommend just going over and if they are not busy they will probably welcome you in. We're going over again this summer.
Wow, I never thought of just calling and asking if they could show up!! Will have to try that... :)
