Waubeka firehouse open for fun and learning

The Waubeka Fire Department’s open house last weekend drew crowds of people looking for fun, including many children. Among the young visitors were (from top photo down) Asher Koehler, 2, who helped firefighter Lisa Pawling steer a truck; Nathan Simms, 4, Asher Koehler and Aiden Koehler, 3, who learned from firefighter Austin Koehler how the Jaws of Life work; and Tomas Tadeo, 4, who operated a fire hose with an assist from firefighter Miles Wegner.
